Apple partnership and earnings growth expand installment services

Affirm recently announced a partnership with Apple to provide its buy now, pay later services through Apple Pay in the United States, expanding installment payment options for users at participating merchants. The company revealed quarterly earnings reflecting growth in revenue and gross merchandise volume, and updated investors on financial performance. Additional partnerships with major retailers and updates on credit metrics and regulatory matters were also disclosed.

Daily seller dominance clashes with intraday recovery attempts

Momentum signals remain weak, as MACD and ADX both point to a lack of strength in either direction. Most oscillators (RSI at 39.68, CCI at –155.98, Stoch RSI at 15.97, BBP at –3.68) suggest oversold conditions and seller dominance on D1, but shorter timeframes display overbought signals, highlighting intraday indecision. Awesome Oscillator also points lower, supporting the prevailing bearish tone. AFRM opened higher at $65.00 compared to yesterday’s close of $64.38, showing no significant gap. The current price sits near today’s high ($66.54 in a $64.56 – $66.54 range), reflecting moderate volatility and steady intraday strength toward new session highs. Divergence between daily bearish momentum and intraday recovery signals a tug-of-war between short-term buyers and broader-term sellers.

Sideways price bias holds as oversold buying meets strong resistance

For the next five sessions, the expected price band is $64.80 to $66.50, adjusted to fit a realistic corridor just above current levels. The probability of a price increase is moderate (about 50%), while a decline is just as likely given the mixed signals. Baseline scenario: AFRM holds in a sideways channel between $64.80 and $66.50 as oversold readings attract buyers but resistance remains strong. Bullish scenario: if buyers break above $69.85, the price may target higher, but underlying momentum on daily charts must improve. Bearish scenario: a move below MA-200 support ($64.86) exposes further downside, especially if negative momentum prevails.

Anton Kharitonov, analyst at Traders Union, sees AFRM under clear bearish pressure despite steady intraday recovery attempts. He notes that oversold conditions are attracting some buyers, yet resistance near $69.85 and weak momentum still dominate. The recent Apple partnership and earnings updates have not shifted the technical tone materially. "Until AFRM decisively reclaims $69.85, my stance stays defensive and sideways moves between $64.80 and $66.50 remain the base case."

Previously, it was noted that Affirm Holdings experienced mixed short- and medium-term momentum as technical indicators highlighted oversold conditions with resistance and support converging, adding uncertainty to the near-term outlook. The analysis also indicated that institutional flows remained upbeat following earnings, despite ongoing seller dominance and a neutral price outlook for the coming days.
