The structural read
What price action says about NG.
NG qualifies for the Red List on decline depth — down -38.3% 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.
Cross-confirmation: also showing 3/5 bearish time frames.
Cross-confirmation: decline sigma also reads 4.2σ over 20 bars.
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.
Upstream TFC read: moderate alignment, current phase weekly. Last bar types — daily 2D (red), weekly 1 (green), monthly 2D (green).
Earnings on file: 2026-04-01. Tiering is unaffected by earnings dates — listings reflect price structure only.

Questions about NG
What people ask.
Why is NG on Broken Stocks?
NG qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -38.3% from its rolling 252-day high of $14.40, set on 2026-03-02 — 73d ago. It additionally carries a Recovering badge — see below.
What does the Recovering badge mean for NG?
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 — NG 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 NG a falling knife?
By the most common technical definition — a steep, recent breakdown from a fresh high — yes. NG is down -38.3% from its 52-week high of $14.40, set 73d 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 NG 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 NG trading inside its 52-week range?
At $8.89, NG sits 50.0% of the way from its 52-week low ($3.37) to its 52-week high ($14.40). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has NG been declining?
The current 38.3% decline accrued over 73d, which annualizes to roughly -191.5% 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 NG compare to its sector?
There are 47 other Basic Materials tickers on Broken Stocks: 17 Red, 7 Amber, 23 Watch, with 11 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -28.3% — NG's decline is deeper than the sector median.
Does NG'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 (2026-04-01) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
