Oversold stretch as bearish structure persists below weekly low

RSI at 26.1 shows shares of Rocket Lab are in oversold territory, pointing to limited room for further downside. Price remains below the MA-20, MA-50, and MA-200, preserving a bearish daily structure. The nearest support is the weekly low at $49.25, and the daily move fits within the broader negative chart setup.

Odds strongly favor further downside as traders watch $49.25 pivot

To gauge whether recent developments are being priced in, traders should watch the weekly low at $49.25. RSI at 26.1 indicates conditions are stretched to the downside, which often constrains the scope for further declines. A sharp move higher over the past week has not led to a sustained trend; even so, for the coming trading week, the probability of upside is less than 20% and downside greater than 80%, with an expected range of $44.58 to $57.21. A close above $63.36 would show buyers are willing to follow through, while a drop below $49.25 would suggest the move is being faded. On the weekly chart the longer-term picture stays negative.

Earlier, analysts noted that Rocket Lab maintained a bearish technical setup despite operational milestones and contract activity. The newly reported launch delay adds to existing downside risk, with traders advised to monitor price action at the weekly low of $49.25 as a key threshold for near-term direction.
