Technical interpretation and signal details
The structural read
What price action says about WFRD.
WFRD is held on the Red List, which it last met on 2026-10-06. A tier moves down, or a name leaves the list, only after five consecutive scans below the tier's rules with a cushion of 3 points on depth and 1σ on sigma. Today's unbuffered reading: Amber.
Cross-confirmation: decline sigma also reads 6.0σ 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 WFRD's turn is investable is ConvictionEdge's question, not ours.

Questions about WFRD
What people ask.
Why is WFRD on Broken Stocks?
WFRD is held on the Red List. Held on the Red List: it last met the Red List rules on 2026-10-06. Today it reads Amber List; a tier moves down only after five consecutive scans below its rules. It additionally carries a Recovering badge — see below.
What does the Recovering badge mean for WFRD?
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 — WFRD 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 WFRD a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. WFRD is down -32.5% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 151d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. WFRD is still on the Red List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is WFRD 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 WFRD trading inside its 52-week range?
At $76.19, WFRD sits 38.9% of the way from its 52-week low ($52.70) to its 52-week high ($113.15). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has WFRD been declining?
The current 32.5% decline accrued over 151d, which annualizes to roughly -78.6% 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 WFRD compare to its sector?
There are 88 other Energy tickers on Broken Stocks: 43 Red, 38 Amber, 7 Watch, with 47 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -30.9% — WFRD's decline is deeper than the sector median.
Does WFRD'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 (2026-07-21) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
