Technical analysis by quantsignals about Symbol HOODX: Sell recommendation (12/12/2025)

HOOD Weekly Signal Summary Instrument: HOOD Direction: BUY PUTS (contrarian to AI call prediction) Confidence: 60–65% Expiry: 2025-12-19 (7 days) Strike Focus: $112.00 / $120.00 Entry Range: $4.45–$10.12 (depends on strike) Target 1: $6.70–$16.19 (50–60% gain) Target 2: $8.90–$22.27 (100–120% gain) Stop Loss: $3.00–$6.07 (33–40% loss) Position Size: 2–3% of portfolio (moderate conviction, reduce for Friday gamma risk) Weekly Momentum: Mixed — Bullish (+1.26% 1W) for lower strike, Bearish (-1.39% 1W) for higher strike Options Flow: Bearish (High Put/Call Ratio, PCR 1.29–2.53) — institutional put accumulation Analysis Summary Katy AI Signal: Shows bullish trajectory to $130–$135, but composite guidance recommends PUTS. Technical Analysis: Stock down 10–12% intraday — oversold conditions may lead to a bounce. VWAP $125–$126 acts as resistance; support at $117.86–$119.18. News Sentiment: Mixed — Ark Invest accumulation supports bullish potential; analyst downgrades create caution. Risk Level: HIGH — Friday expiration, gamma effects active; conflicting signals require careful monitoring. Trade Rationale Why PUTS: Heavy institutional put activity (PCR 1.29–2.53) Intraday decline aligns with bearish momentum Friday expiration amplifies gamma effects for contrarian trades Contrarian Consideration: Katy AI predicts upside, so monitor carefully; reduce size if exposure feels high.
