Institutional buying accelerates ahead of upcoming earnings event

Institutional investor Kercheville Advisors LLC significantly increased its stake in SoFi by 61.8% in the third quarter, now holding 262,790 shares as reported in the latest SEC filing. The next earnings date for SoFi Technologies is scheduled for January 30.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that SOFI trades above all major moving averages but points to technical warning signs. He sees overbought oscillators and MACD weakness as flags for a possible short-term pullback. Kharitonov highlights that while institutional inflows provide some support, there are clear vulnerabilities. He is not convinced by buyer dominance with mixed signals. "Momentum looks overextended, so I expect consolidation or a correction before any fresh rally can be trusted," he warns.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees the recent increase in institutional ownership as a powerful vote of confidence in SOFI. He notes the bullish structure is supported by strong weekly trend signals and resilient inflows. Karapetjanc highlights the potential for a breakout above the $30 resistance as a compelling opportunity for further growth. "Given strong technical and fundamental backing, I anticipate sustained upside as the market offers multiple setups for active investors," he states.

Mixed momentum signals as overbought indicators warn of pullback risk

Momentum signals on the daily chart are mixed, with MACD pointing to strong selling and a weak ADX indicating a lack of trend. Most oscillators, including Stoch RSI and BBP, show overbought conditions, suggesting buyer dominance and a potential for short-term exhaustion, while the RSI is neutral to bullish. Today, SOFI gapped up at the open and is trading near the high end of its daily range, reflecting strong intraday momentum with moderate volatility and evident upward pressure since the open. However, there is divergence between overbought oscillators and conflicting momentum readings, so the ongoing rally may be vulnerable to near-term pullbacks.
