Metric 03/10 (stale) 03/11 (fresh) Change

RSI 15.1 (stale) 39.9 +24.8 (recovery but at lower price)

Update from 03/10: FRESH DATA. Stale data masked massive deterioration — price dropped -28.3% from stale reading. But the stock bounced +16.6% in the last 7D and is now above SMA. RSI recovered from 15.1 to 39.9. Still highly speculative. 3M -58.0% is the worst in our coverage.

  2. Above SMA — Short-term technical positive.
  3. Game engine duopoly — Unity + Unreal = market.

Bear Case

  1. -58.0% 3M — Worst performer in entire coverage.
  2. Runtime fee trust destruction — Developer exodus.
  3. CEO turnover — Leadership instability.
  4. Advertising business struggling — Unity Grow weak.
