ARK purchases offset by persistent selling as new user incentives launch

ARK Investment Management purchased approximately $6.8 million in SoFi shares across its ARK Innovation ETF and ARK Blockchain & Fintech Innovation ETF in November 2026. The company reported strong revenue and deposit growth, with ongoing expansion of its member base and increased multi-product adoption. A limited-time promotion for new Active Invest users offering up to $1,000 in stock with a $50 deposit was also introduced, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees SoFi's latest price action as a warning for bulls. He notes that despite ARK Investment Management's recent buy, persistent selling outweighs institutional optimism. The price remains under the 50- and 200-day averages, which highlights the continued downside risk. Neutral oscillator positioning shows a lack of strong conviction among market participants. "Technical vulnerability and sustained downside pressure signal that a reversal is unlikely until SoFi reclaims $16.33 with strong momentum," he states.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, remains constructive despite short-term setbacks. He emphasizes the significance of ARK’s recent $6.8 million investment as strong institutional validation for SoFi’s growth trajectory. Karapetjanc underscores robust fundamentals — rising membership, healthy deposits, and product adoption lay a foundation for further upside. He expects consolidation to create attractive entry points for long-term investors. "Institutional inflows and growing fundamentals suggest the bullish structure remains intact and further growth is likely," he says.

Sholanke Dele, market strategist, views SoFi’s recent decline as a sign of lingering sentiment weakness. He points out that the stock’s failure to hold above key averages reflects ongoing skepticism despite promotional efforts. Dele remains unconvinced by intraday buyer activity, given persistent volatility and wide ranges. "Without decisive long-term support, further downside risk cannot be overlooked in the current environment," he notes.

Neutral momentum signals as SoFi tests medium-term resistance

SoFi trades above its 20-day moving average at $15.73 but remains below both the 50-day ($16.33) and the 200-day ($17.51) averages, indicating short-term support with ongoing medium- and long-term selling pressure. The near-term ceiling is at $16.15, while support is defined by the Ichimoku Kijun at $15.82. A bearish alignment between the 50-day and 200-day averages confirms a longer-term downtrend. MACD and Average Directional Index (ADX) indicate sustained buy signals, yet all three oscillators—RSI, Stochastic RSI, and Commodity Channel Index (CCI)—are in neutral zones. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) is positive, pointing to intraday buyer dominance. SoFi last traded near its daily low within a wide intraday range, with volatility amplitude at 5.51%. Downside pressure persisted throughout the session, consistent with neutral oscillator readings.

Previously it was reported that SoFi remained under broad selling pressure despite notable institutional purchases and neutral technical indicators. With new data showing a shift toward short-term consolidation and increased volatility, traders should now pay close attention to the $15.82 support and $16.15 resistance for potential breakout or breakdown signals.
