Technical interpretation and signal details
The structural read
What price action says about MOS.
MOS qualifies for the Red List on decline depth — down -40.5% from its rolling 252-day high. Past the 40% threshold, the deepest tier in the taxonomy.
Cross-confirmation: also showing 3/5 bearish time frames.
Cross-confirmation: decline sigma also reads 12.6σ 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 MOS's turn is investable is ConvictionEdge's question, not ours.
Upstream TFC read: weak alignment, current phase daily. Last bar types — daily 1 (red), weekly 2D (green), monthly 2D (red).

Questions about MOS
What people ask.
Why is MOS on Broken Stocks?
MOS qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -40.5% from its rolling 252-day high of $31.66, set on 2026-03-12 — 218d ago. It additionally carries a Recovering badge — see below.
What does the Recovering badge mean for MOS?
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 — MOS 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 MOS a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. MOS is down -40.5% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 218d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. MOS is still on the Red List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is MOS 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 MOS trading inside its 52-week range?
At $18.82, MOS sits 0.0% of the way from its 52-week low ($19.80) to its 52-week high ($36.99). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has MOS been declining?
The current 40.5% decline accrued over 218d, which annualizes to roughly -67.8% 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 MOS compare to its sector?
There are 359 other Basic Materials tickers on Broken Stocks: 233 Red, 84 Amber, 42 Watch, with 145 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -36.5% — MOS's decline is deeper than the sector median.
Does MOS'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 (2026-08-04) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
