First Solar CEO Mark Widmar published a new op-ed in RealClearEnergy, the company said. The piece examines two solar technologies over the same decade.
Widmar compares crystalline silicon technology, which the U.S. lost to a state-backed Chinese buildout. Details are being clarified.
FSLR is trading at $224.57, which is well below the MA-20 ($261.86), MA-50 ($244.24), and MA-200 ($234.93), signaling continued short-, medium-, and long-term pressure from sellers. The Ichimoku Kijun on D1 is $274.18, establishing immediate resistance above the current price. Near-term support is found at the MA-100 ($224.28), with key support at the MA-200 ($234.93). Immediate resistance is set by the Kijun ($274.18), with key resistance at the MA-50 ($244.24).
Momentum readings on D1 are decisively negative, with MACD and ADX both indicating a sell bias and reinforcing the ongoing downtrend. RSI (39.28), CCI (-115.31), BBP (-7.88), and Stoch RSI (1.71) all flag oversold conditions, showing sellers remain dominant but also suggesting the stock is stretched to the downside. Awesome Oscillator on D1 aligns with this weakness. In today's session, the stock has declined 3.24%. Over the past week, FSLR has fallen $14.50 (6.07%) from a previous weekly close of $239.07, now sitting at the very bottom of the weekly range. Weekly volatility stands at 9.14%, and the price has experienced a steady decline from last week’s high.
Looking ahead, the anticipated range for the coming week is $219 to $237, normalized for volatility, which keeps the action above the 52-week low ($159.85) and well below the 52-week high ($320.95). The probability of a price increase is very low (less than 20%), with price weakening more likely. The baseline scenario sees FSLR moving sideways within $219–$237, reflecting consolidation after a sharp weekly drop. A bullish scenario would require a rebound above the $235–$244 resistance cluster, but D1 and W1 signals make this less likely near term. In a bearish scenario, a break below $219 could trigger further downside toward the $210 region, especially if oversold conditions fail to attract buyers.
Previously it was reported that First Solar was experiencing persistent bearish momentum, with technical support levels offering some stabilization. As market conditions evolve, traders should focus on whether the current price action demonstrates sustained recovery or signals additional downside risk in the near term.
