Questions about NUGT
What people ask.
Why is NUGT on Broken Stocks?
NUGT qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -40.2% from its rolling 252-day high of $320.17, set on 2026-03-02 — 73d ago.
Is NUGT a falling knife?
By the most common technical definition — a steep, recent breakdown from a fresh high — yes. NUGT is down -40.2% from its 52-week high of $320.17, 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 NUGT 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 NUGT trading inside its 52-week range?
At $191.44, NUGT sits 50.9% of the way from its 52-week low ($57.40) to its 52-week high ($320.79). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has NUGT been declining?
The current 40.2% decline accrued over 73d, which annualizes to roughly -201.0% 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.
