Not a good buy right now for an impatient trader: price action is still bearish (MACD worsening) and options flow is defensive/bearish despite an oversold RSI.
A near-term bounce is possible because CYBR is sitting just above key support (~401.9) and RSI_6 is extremely oversold, but there’s no Intellectia buy signal to front-run the entry.
M&A backdrop (deal expected to close in 1H 2026 per JPM) and the recent earnings beat can provide support, but the tape/derivatives sentiment suggests downside risk isn’t finished.
Trend/Momentum: Bearish — MACD histogram at -4.107 and negatively expanding (downtrend pressure still building).
RSI: RSI_6 = 12.541 (extremely oversold), which often precedes reflex rallies, but oversold can persist in strong selloffs.
Moving averages: Converging MAs suggests the selloff may be transitioning from trending to basing, but not confirmed.
Key levels: Current 402.98 is just above S1 401.888 (must hold). Next support S2 386.282; resistance/pivot 427.15, then 452.41.
Pattern-based short-term odds (similar candles): slight negative bias beyond 1-day (+0.49% next day vs -0.25% next week / -1.82% next month).
Options Data

Open Interest Put-Call Ratio
Bearish
Option Volume Put-Call Ratio
Positioning: Open Interest put/call 0.52 = more call OI than puts (structurally not bearish).
Flow/Sentiment today: Put/Call volume ratio 5.0 with today volume elevated vs 30D avg (6.74x) = near-term bearish/hedging impulse dominating today’s tape.
Volatility: 30D IV 45.42 vs HV 27.09 (IV rich); IV percentile 81.67 indicates options are priced for larger moves (often around catalysts/uncertainty).
Net read: Longer-dated positioning isn’t panicked, but today’s trading sentiment is bearish (puts being actively bought).

Positive Catalysts
can trigger short-covering/bounce attempts.
Neutral/Negative Catalysts
Technical damage: MACD continues to deteriorate; until CYBR reclaims ~427 pivot, sellers remain in control.
Options sentiment: Put volume dominance (5.0x) signals traders are bracing for downside/using protection right now.
Analyst tone: Recent moves are Neutral/Hold with price target cuts/downgrades, implying limited near-term upside conviction.
Broader tape: Software equities have been under pressure early 2026 (rotation away from software per Truist commentary), which can keep rallies capped.
Net income: -$50.438M (down -553.99% YoY) — losses widened materially
EPS: -1 (down -534.78% YoY)
Gross margin: 76.61% (down -4.65% YoY) — still high but trending lower
News-linked quarter (not in the snapshot table): Q4 was reported as a beat with 18.5% YoY revenue growth, improving sentiment, but the technical/derivatives setup still isn’t confirming a clean entry.
