Bullish cloud growth offsets heavy selling as buybacks remain paused

Oracle reported that its cloud revenue accounted for 51% of total revenue in fiscal 2026, up from 43% the previous year, reflecting stronger demand for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Fusion cloud applications driven by artificial intelligence adoption. The company stated its cloud backlog reached $664 billion and disclosed a quarterly dividend of $0.50 per share, with dividend yield at approximately 1.5%. Oracle also signed $288 billion in data center leases not yet commenced and continued heavy investment in data center expansion and AI infrastructure, with financial results impacted by debt financing and capital expenditures. Share buybacks remained paused and no significant changes to dividend or repurchase policies were announced, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees little relief for Oracle as technicals confirm the strong downward momentum. He notes the inability of positive cloud revenue growth and expanding backlog to offset persistent selling and the break below major moving averages. Oracle’s heavy investment and high leverage add risk, while paused buybacks weaken shareholder support. Kharitonov highlights negative momentum indicators and the dominance of sellers, suggesting no signs of an imminent turnaround. "Until we see a sustained reclaim of key moving averages or a clear shift in market interest, the downside scenario remains very much in control."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, remains constructive on Oracle’s core business transformation. He points to robust growth in cloud revenue, record backlog, and sizable future data center commitments as signs of expanding long-term opportunity. The expert emphasizes that AI adoption and infrastructure investments position Oracle well for further growth despite current price pressure. Karapetjanc maintains confidence in Oracle’s strategy and sees supportive fundamentals eventually driving recovery. "The bullish structure remains intact for investors who can look past short-term technical weakness and focus on Oracle’s aggressive cloud push."

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, sees momentum firmly bearish with Oracle trading well below its key moving averages. He notes the oversold readings and suggests the high volatility band could present tactical entry or exit setups if intraday reversals appear. Mehta observes the pronounced selling bias but highlights the sideways forecast scenario, offering potential for range-bound trading. "Contrarian traders could watch for a volatility spike or a potential short-term bounce near the $120.63 support."

Bearish momentum and oversold signals as sellers dominate intraday action

Oracle is trading well below its 20-day ($140.43), 50-day ($145.41), and 200-day ($160.52) moving averages, indicating pronounced downside pressure in short-, medium-, and long-term trends. The stock remains capped by the near-term ceiling at $128.95, with next support at $120.63, and the overall structure is confirmed bearish by the alignment of the 50-day against the 200-day averages. Momentum signals remain negative as MACD points to continued selling pressure, and the Average Directional Index (ADX) reading is neutral, suggesting weak trend conviction. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 44.51 signals a sell bias. The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) at -113.42 is in oversold territory, echoed by Bull/Bear Power (BBP) at -3.96, indicating sellers dominate intraday momentum with an oversold reading. Stochastic RSI is moderately bullish, signaling some short-term buying interest, but the overall setup is pressured by the Awesome Oscillator's (AO) negative signal and daily movement, with the stock dropping $6.36 or 4.72%. Oracle opened with a downside gap of about $2.64 (1.96%) and is now trading near session lows. Intraday volatility stands at 1.97%. The intraday tone is heavy, with persistent seller control and little recovery after the open.

Earlier, analysts noted that Oracle’s technical outlook was constrained by persistent downside momentum and heightened macroeconomic and regulatory risks. The current analysis strengthens this view, as downside momentum remains dominant despite robust cloud growth, with sellers firmly in control and a decisive move below $120.63 representing the key downside risk to monitor.
