User diversification and crypto volatility drive revenue growth

Robinhood reported a 27% increase in total net revenue to $1.28 billion for Q4 2025, reflecting robust growth even amid cryptocurrency market volatility. The company saw stronger trading activity from its users during periods of heightened digital asset volatility, with retail clients increasingly diversifying beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. Strong business performance in January continued to contribute to the company's positive operational momentum.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes the persistent weakness in HOOD’s technical setup. He observes the price is far below all major moving averages and faces strong resistance from the Ichimoku Kijun level at $95.66. Momentum indicators reinforce the prevailing downtrend, while oversold signals warn of further potential downside. Kharitonov also cautions that despite growth in revenue, the market’s reaction remains firmly negative. "The technical picture leaves little room for optimism here — buyers face significant challenges to reverse the dominant bearish trend."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees the robust 27% increase in revenue and retail diversification as positive fundamental drivers for HOOD. He believes the latest growth in user activity and support from strong January performance position the firm well for future industry tailwinds. Karapetjanc views the current volatility as an opportunity for investors seeking exposure at a lower valuation. "With sustained business momentum, I expect the bullish structure to re-emerge once key resistance levels are breached."

Bearish signals reinforced as momentum remains weak and support distant

The current price of HOOD at $72.06 is significantly below the short-term MA-20 at $86.80, the medium-term MA-50 at $105.37, and the long-term MA-200 at $106.36, indicating sustained downward momentum across all key horizons. Ichimoku analysis points to strong dynamic resistance near the Kijun level at $95.66, reinforcing the bearish tone with no major support levels close to current trade. Momentum indicators confirm persistent weakness, with both MACD and ADX signaling a strong prevailing downtrend. The RSI is near oversold levels, and Stoch RSI and CCI indicate the stock is stretched to the downside, while BBP further highlights sellers dominate intraday momentum. The Awesome Oscillator is neutral and does not confirm today’s trend. HOOD declined $4.05 or 5.32% so far today, with a visible gap down from the previous close of $76.11 to the open at $74.76. The current price sits near today’s low in a high-volatility session marked by heavy downside pressure after the open. Overall, intraday performance and momentum signals are aligned, showing little evidence of a reversal yet.

Previously it was reported that Robinhood Markets Inc. is trading well below all major moving averages, with persistent downward pressure across key timeframes despite a modest daily gain and short-term bursts of buying activity. Momentum signals remain mixed, with most indicators reflecting continued bearish sentiment and an oversold market, while immediate resistance is seen near the Ichimoku kijun and support is found around recent daily lows.
