What $OSTK capitulation looks like, followed by 33% bounce

OSTK has seen capitulation many times over the past 15 years. The small float makes it an easy target for mid-tier short sellers who can help it maintain a downtrend relatively easily compared to higher float stocks.

These long downtrends usually end in capitulation, well below the estimated valuation of the company. It is common for there to be a shallow (in dollar terms) Doji candle on either the four hour or the daily chart at the bottom. The bottom occurs below the Bollinger band displayed above.

  • At $9.30 OSTK will have dropped 60% from the March highs.
  • At $9 OSTK will have dropped 90% from the highs.


The typical bounce from the bottom of capitulation seen over the following 2 to 3 weeks is a gain of 33%
