Product debut and fund entry lift sentiment ahead of earnings

Keysight Technologies introduced the XR3, a rack-based 14-bit oscilloscope designed to enhance rack test systems with multiple analog and digital channels and flexible bandwidths. The company is preparing to announce its fourth-quarter and fiscal-year results. In addition, Kornitzer Capital Management Inc. KS disclosed a new position in Keysight Technologies during the third quarter.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Keysight Technologies’ rebound as technically weak. He points out that the price remains under all major moving averages, with downside signals from MACD and ADX. Despite new product launches and institutional interest, sellers dominate the order flow. Volatility is high, but momentum is not in buyers’ favor. "Trading below $302.43 could trigger a sharper sell-off, so I would stay defensive until buyers prove real control."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, focuses on the company’s innovation and fresh institutional backing. He believes the launch of the XR3 oscilloscope sets up new opportunities as Keysight approaches year-end reporting. Karapetjanc notes that recent inflows from Kornitzer Capital signal confidence. The broader uptrend remains intact as long as support holds. "I expect further growth ahead, especially if earnings surprise to the upside and buyers reclaim resistance at $313.45."

Sholanke Dele, market strategist, views the move as a short-term bounce lacking follow-through. He highlights that momentum and sentiment remain weak despite the product news. Macro headwinds and persistent selling pressure are evident. "Until the stock can attract sustained demand above $313.45, I see little reason to expect a durable rally here."

Persistent selling as bullish trend weakens and momentum signals falter

KEYS is trading below its 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages ($315.54, $336.22, and $319.25), which reflects near-term and long-term selling pressure. The nearest resistance sits at $313.45, and support is found at $302.43. Although the alignment of the 50-day and 200-day averages remains bullish for the broader trend, both MACD and ADX signal continued selling momentum. Oscillators such as RSI, Stochastic RSI, and CCI remain neutral, indicating no current extremes. Negative Bull/Bear Power and a bearish Awesome Oscillator show sellers dominating intraday trading, even after a significant opening gap and heightened daily volatility.

Earlier, analysts noted that despite product innovation, Keysight Technologies faced sustained bearish technical pressure and elevated downside risk. The current setup reinforces this outlook, with technical indicators and volatility suggesting traders should monitor for a potential breakdown below support at $302.43.
