The structural read
What price action says about METC.
METC qualifies for the Red List on decline depth — down -71.2% from its rolling 252-day high. Past the 40% threshold, the deepest tier in the taxonomy.
Alongside that decline, our proprietary engine has flagged a confirmed bullish structural signal on one or more time frames — moderate or strong time-frame-continuity (TFC) alignment — so the ticker also carries a Recovering badge. The two readings coexist: the tier tells you how deep the damage is, the Recovering badge tells you whether momentum may be turning. Recovering is not a buy signal; it's a structural read.
Broken Stocks stops here — it flags the structure, it doesn't build the upside case. Working out whether METC's turn is investable is what our sister tool does: ConvictionEdge — triple-engine conviction research on names showing a recovery signal.
Upstream TFC read: strong alignment, current phase daily. Last bar types — daily 2U (green), weekly 2U (green), monthly 2U (green).
Earnings on file: 2026-05-11. Tiering is unaffected by earnings dates — listings reflect price structure only.

Questions about METC
What people ask.
Why is METC on Broken Stocks?
METC qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -71.2% from its rolling 252-day high of $57.80, set on 2025-10-15 — 225d ago. It additionally carries a Recovering badge — see below.
What does the Recovering badge mean for METC?
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 — METC is still Red List because the rolling-252-day decline hasn't healed, but a bullish setup has formed inside that decline. The two readings answer different questions: the tier tells you how deep the damage is; the Recovering badge tells you whether momentum may be turning. It's not a buy recommendation.
Is METC a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. METC is down -71.2% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 225d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. METC is still on the Red List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is METC 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 METC trading inside its 52-week range?
At $16.67, METC sits 16.6% of the way from its 52-week low ($8.51) to its 52-week high ($57.80). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has METC been declining?
The current 71.2% decline accrued over 225d, which annualizes to roughly -115.5% 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 METC compare to its sector?
There are 52 other Basic Materials tickers on Broken Stocks: 20 Red, 6 Amber, 26 Watch, with 33 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -29.9% — METC's decline is deeper than the sector median.
Does METC's earnings date affect its tier?
No. Tiering is decided purely by decline depth and recency of the rolling-high date. The earnings date on file (2026-05-11) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
