Liquidity surge expected as growth plans and collateralization drive sentiment

Oracle confirmed that its Project Jupiter AI data center campus in southern New Mexico suffered no critical damage from recent flooding, with the $18 billion facility proceeding according to plan. The company also disclosed a five-year, roughly $7 billion AI chip leasing agreement with Tencent for Southeast Asia. In addition, recent filings revealed that executive chairman Larry Ellison has pledged 67 million shares, valued at around $9.2 billion, as collateral for personal loans, and Oracle expects to raise $45–50 billion in cash this year through a mix of debt and equity financing to support growth.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, highlights persistent technical weakness despite Oracle’s relief rally. He notes that bearish signals remain dominant, with the stock trading below key moving averages and momentum indicators still negative. He cautions that Project Jupiter’s resilience and the Tencent AI deal have not reversed underlying selling pressure. Risks are elevated, especially given executive share pledges and aggressive financing plans. "Without a sustained break above $146.53, any optimism may quickly fade — I see upside as strictly limited for now."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, views Oracle’s progress on Project Jupiter and its substantial AI chip partnership with Tencent as evidence of strong long-term fundamentals. He sees management’s aggressive capital mobilization as positioning the company for major growth opportunities in cloud and AI. Sentiment has improved with the flood risk contained, and forward financing signals confidence in expansion plans. "The bullish structure remains intact — further growth is likely as Oracle invests in next-generation infrastructure and deepens strategic partnerships."

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, observes a divergence between Oracle’s price action and underlying bearish momentum. He notes the upside gap and session-high close but emphasizes weak technical confirmation across signals. The recent volatility may set up for a contrarian entry if sentiment rapidly shifts or if the stock holds above $143.56. "If Oracle breaks above $149.6 on volume, I’d consider a tactical long — but for now, trend-followers should stay cautious."

Bearish momentum persists as sellers dominate below major averages

Oracle is trading below its 20-day and 200-day moving averages ($146.53 and $163.08), but slightly above its 50-day average at $143.13. This positioning signals ongoing long-term and short-term pressure from sellers, with only modest support for a medium-term stabilization. The near-term ceiling is at $146.53, while the nearest floor is at $143.56 as set by the recent week high. Momentum indicators remain broadly negative. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and Average Directional Index (ADX) both signal weak and negative momentum. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), Commodity Channel Index (CCI), and Bull/Bear Power (BBP) all indicate sellers dominate, with BBP showing oversold conditions. Stochastic RSI is neutral, and the Awesome Oscillator does not confirm any clear shift. Despite a sharp daily gain to $143.62, up $5.55 or 4.02%, the stock posted a clear upside gap of approximately $1.53 (1.11%). The price is currently near the session high with intraday volatility at 3.64%, and the overall tone is one of strength toward the day’s highs. Technical momentum remains bearish overall, despite today’s positive move, highlighting a divergence between price action and underlying signals.

Earlier, analysts noted that Oracle faced persistent technical and operational headwinds, resulting in a broadly bearish near-term outlook despite recent rebounds. The current update adds confirmation to this view, highlighting that ongoing bearish momentum and a high probability of further downside leave $137.47 as a critical support level for traders to monitor in the days ahead.
