The structural read
What price action says about MXL.
MXL qualifies for the Red List on decline depth — down -33.9% from its rolling 252-day high. Past 30% with the high set inside the last four months — the recency clause that often precedes further breakdown. Depth plus recency: this is the pattern many investors call a falling knife.
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 MXL'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 weekly. Last bar types — daily 2U (green), weekly 2U (green), monthly 1 (green).

Questions about MXL
What people ask.
Why is MXL on Broken Stocks?
MXL qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -33.9% from its rolling 252-day high of $128.30, set on 2026-06-30 — 47d ago. It additionally carries a Recovering badge — see below.
What does the Recovering badge mean for MXL?
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 — MXL 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 MXL a falling knife?
By the most common technical definition — a steep, recent breakdown from a fresh high — yes. MXL is down -33.9% from its 52-week high of $128.30, set 47d ago. That combination of depth (past the 30% Amber threshold) and recency (high set inside the last 120 days) is the textbook falling-knife pattern. Whether to try to catch it is a separate question — historically most attempts to bottom-pick continue lower before reversing. Broken Stocks flags the pattern; it does not recommend buying or selling.
Is MXL 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 MXL trading inside its 52-week range?
At $84.84, MXL sits 100.0% of the way from its 52-week low ($8.35) to its 52-week high ($20.82). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has MXL been declining?
The current 33.9% decline accrued over 47d, which annualizes to roughly -263.3% 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 MXL compare to its sector?
There are 213 other Technology tickers on Broken Stocks: 119 Red, 51 Amber, 43 Watch, with 88 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -35.5% — MXL's decline is shallower than the sector median.
Does MXL'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 (2026-01-29) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
