Should You Buy Torrid Holdings Inc (CURV) Today? Analysis, Price Targets, and 2026 Outlook.
Analysis Updated At
2026/01/28
Not a good buy right now for a beginner long-term investor with $50k–$100k who wants to act immediately. CURV is a turnaround retail story with weakening sales, pressured margins, repeated guidance cuts, and a clearly deteriorating Wall Street price-target trend. The stock is also trading with very high implied volatility, making outcomes less predictable for a long-term, beginner-friendly allocation. I would avoid buying now and would treat it as a sell/avoid until revenue trends stabilize and guidance stops getting cut.
Technical Analysis
Price/Trend: CURV is trading around $1.22 post-market, below the pivot level (Pivot 1.242), which keeps the near-term bias soft.
Momentum: MACD histogram is slightly positive (0.00729) but “positively contracting,” which typically signals fading upside momentum rather than an accelerating uptrend.
RSI: RSI(6) at 46.59 is neutral—no oversold bounce signal.
Moving averages: Converging MAs suggest indecision/chop rather than a clean trend.
Levels: Support sits near S1 1.158 then S2 1.106; resistance near R1 1.326 then R2 1.378. With price below pivot and momentum fading, the chart does not show a strong long-term entry for an impatient buyer.
Pattern-based odds (provided): Skew negative over week/month (-4.54% next week, -2.84% next month), reinforcing weak near-term trend.
