Not a good buy right now for a Beginner, long-term investor with $50k–$100k who wants to act immediately. Even though Wall Street targets imply large upside and options positioning is call-heavy, the stock is still in a bearish trend (downtrend moving averages) with no near-term news catalysts, and the company remains loss-making with worsening YoY net loss/EPS in the latest reported quarter (2025/Q3). I would HOLD/avoid initiating a large position at this moment.
Technical Analysis
Price/Trend: CRBU is trading around $1.51 (down ~2.6% on the day) and is technically weak. Moving averages are stacked bearishly (SMA_200 > SMA_20 > SMA_5), which typically signals a sustained downtrend. Momentum: MACD histogram is slightly positive (0.00657) but is positively contracting, suggesting upside momentum is fading rather than accelerating. RSI(6) at ~43.98 is neutral-to-soft (not oversold), so there is no strong mean-reversion buy signal. Levels: Pivot ~1.522 is just above current price, acting as near-term overhead. Support levels sit at S1 ~1.423 and S2 ~1.361; resistance levels at R1 ~1.621 and R2 ~1.683. Near-term pattern odds provided are also slightly negative (next month expectation -3.24%), which aligns with the bearish MA structure.
