Technical interpretation and signal details
The structural read
What price action says about F.
F is held on the Red List, which it last met on 2026-10-13. A tier moves down, or a name leaves the list, only after five consecutive scans below the tier's rules with a cushion of 3 points on depth and 1σ on sigma. Today's unbuffered reading: Watch.
Cross-confirmation: decline sigma also reads 5.6σ over 20 bars.
A confirmed bullish signal on one or more time frames earned the Recovering badge. The tier reflects the most severe price-structure rule; Recovering identifies a separate bullish signal. Not a buy signal.
Whether F's turn is investable is ConvictionEdge's question, not ours.
Upstream TFC read: moderate alignment, current phase weekly. Last bar types — daily 2U (red), weekly 3 (green), monthly 2D (green).

Questions about F
What people ask.
Why is F on Broken Stocks?
F is held on the Red List. Held on the Red List: it last met the Red List rules on 2026-10-13. Today it reads Watch; a tier moves down only after five consecutive scans below its rules. It additionally carries a Recovering badge — see below.
What does the Recovering badge mean for F?
Recovering means our proprietary engine has flagged a confirmed bullish structural signal on one or more time frames (moderate or strong time-frame continuity). It coexists with the decline tier — F is still Red List because a price-structure rule still triggers, but a bullish setup has formed inside that decline. The two readings answer different questions: the tier reflects the most severe triggered rule; the Recovering badge tells you whether momentum may be turning. It's not a buy recommendation.
Is F a falling knife?
No. The falling-knife label usually implies a steep, severe drop — typically 30% or more from a fresh high. F is down -29.3% from its 52-week high, which qualifies for the Watch tier but is shallower than the falling-knife pattern. It's an early-stage decline rather than a sharp breakdown.
Is F a buy?
Broken Stocks does not issue buy or sell recommendations. The list is a rules-based technical warning system. It tracks structural decline depth and recency — not company quality, management, fundamentals, or news. Always do your own research and consult a licensed advisor.
Where is F trading inside its 52-week range?
At $12.43, F sits 19.8% of the way from its 52-week low ($11.11) to its 52-week high ($17.78). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has F been declining?
The current 29.3% decline accrued over 140d, which annualizes to roughly -76.4% per year. Annualized pace is a sanity check — a 30% decline in three months is a different signal than a 30% decline over two years.
How does F compare to its sector?
There are 411 other Consumer Cyclical tickers on Broken Stocks: 289 Red, 86 Amber, 36 Watch, with 242 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -36.6% — F's decline is shallower than the sector median.
Does F's earnings date affect its tier?
No. Tiering uses decline depth and recency, bearish time-frame structure, and decline sigma. The earnings date on file (2026-07-28) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
