Upbeat institutional flows following quarterly earnings beats

Affirm reported quarterly earnings on November 6, 2024, with earnings per share of $0.23 and revenue of $933.34 million, both surpassing consensus estimates. Institutional activity was strong, with Westfield Capital Management acquiring 698,779 shares in the second quarter and Western Wealth Management LLC entering a new position with 4,225 shares. Price T Rowe Associates Inc. MD also notably increased its holdings during the first quarter as investors continue to monitor Affirm's presence in the competitive payments sector.

Seller dominance emerges as momentum and oscillators turn bearish

Momentum signals are mixed: the daily MACD suggests bearish momentum, while ADX remains low and neutral, indicating weak trend strength. Multiple oscillators, including RSI (36.36), Stochastic RSI (0.00), CCI (–150.38), and BBP (–0.90), all signal oversold conditions and seller dominance, suggesting the market may be stretched to the downside. The Awesome Oscillator also supports the continuation of selling pressure. The Ichimoku Kijun at $70.94 is the next dynamic resistance level, while the MA-200 at $64.84 acts as immediate support.

Sideways price outlook as bullish and bearish scenarios balance

For the next 5 trading days, a realistic price range is expected between $64.00 and $68.00, keeping within typical weekly volatility. The probability of a price increase is moderate (about 50%), with a similar chance for a decrease, as only one out of four weekly directional indicators points up. In the baseline scenario, the price is likely to consolidate sideways between $64.00 and $68.00. A bullish scenario would see AFRM breaking above resistance at $68.00, targeting higher levels if upward momentum strengthens, while a bearish scenario involves a breach of the $64.00 support, potentially accelerating downside pressure.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, analyst at Traders Union, sees Affirm's strong institutional activity and better-than-expected earnings supporting the company’s longer-term story. He notes that while technical signals point to near-term selling pressure, the fact that price is holding above the MA-200 shows resilience. Macro and sentiment factors remain constructive despite current consolidation. Karapetjanc believes sideways action is probable, but any positive sentiment shift could spark a move higher. "With robust fundamentals and institutional backing, I see upside potential emerging if Affirm holds above $64.84 and sentiment turns," he says.

Previously, it was noted that Affirm Holdings experienced mixed short- and medium-term momentum as technical indicators highlighted further downside favored as recovery odds remained limited. The asset was reported to show oversold conditions with resistance and support converging, suggesting uncertainty in the near-term outlook.
