Highlights

Stance Capital LLC cut its Home Depot stake by over 50% in Q3, signaling reduced institutional confidence.
Home Depot issued fiscal 2026 EPS guidance between 14.23 and 14.799 and confirmed a March 26 dividend payment.
Shares remain under heavy selling pressure, trading well below key averages, with momentum indicators showing an oversold, weak trend and a projected sideways range of $319.00 to $320.38.

Institutional selling persists despite 2026 guidance and dividend declaration

Stance Capital LLC reduced its holdings in Home Depot by 53.2% during the third quarter, selling 3,619 shares and holding 3,179 shares at period end. Home Depot provided fiscal year 2026 guidance with projected earnings per share in the range of 14.23 to 14.799. The company also declared a quarterly dividend to be paid on March 26, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Home Depot under deep selling pressure across all major timeframes. Technical indicators confirm a strong bearish trend, with price significantly below all key moving averages and weak momentum readings throughout. News of Stance Capital reducing its position reflects institutional caution, while the recent guidance and dividend failed to restore confidence. The stock is now testing support near $319.00, with little evidence of imminent reversal. "With persistent negative signals and lacking bullish divergence, I remain extremely cautious on HD until technicals show material improvement."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, notes Home Depot’s operating fundamentals remain robust with clear earnings guidance provided through fiscal year 2026. While the stock is currently facing technical headwinds, the proactive dividend policy and institutional rebalancing may create future buying opportunities. The company’s strong corporate backdrop leaves room for a constructive outlook as volatility subsides. "I believe the market offers attractive setups for forward-looking investors, with further growth expected once technical resistance is overcome."

Oversold readings deepen as sellers dominate below major resistance

HD is trading at $321.59, well below the MA-20 at $359.21, MA-50 at $371.44, and MA-200 at $375.44, which confirms strong pressure from sellers across short-, medium-, and long-term horizons. The closest dynamic resistance is the Ichimoku Kijun at $361.18, while support is not indicated by Ichimoku and would be defined by the recent intraday lows. Momentum signals are decisively weak as the MACD remains negative and ADX shows a soft trend, while oscillators such as RSI, Stoch RSI, and CCI all indicate deep oversold conditions. BBP signals sellers remain in clear control intraday, and the AO's negative direction is aligned with this downtrend. The stock is down $6.63, slipping 2.02% on the day, with no significant opening gap. It is currently trading near today's low of $321.40 in a high volatility environment, reflecting continued pressure after the open. Intraday weakness is confirmed by both price action and momentum signals, with no visible bullish divergence among oscillators.

Previously it was reported that Home Depot plans to significantly expand its store presence across several states by 2026. While the long-term growth strategy remains intact, current technical signals suggest traders should remain cautious near potential downside risk if support at $319.00 fails, making this a critical level to monitor in the coming sessions.
