Each bar shows a 0–100 percentile compared to the last year of data. Key levels show the nearest demand and supply zones from our confluence analysis.

Looking at the full picture for Costco Wholesale Corporation (COST): extension is slightly above average (56th percentile), momentum is above average (71st percentile), flow is historically elevated (90th percentile), volatility is deeply below average — at historically low levels (14th percentile). The standout feature is the volatility compression — the asset is unusually quiet relative to its own history. This kind of compression often precedes a significant move. The directional indicators are not extreme in either direction, which makes the volatility reading the most notable signal right now. Volatility compression at these levels rarely persists for long. A move above or below the recent range with rising volume would signal that the compression is resolving.

Conclusion

Costco Wholesale Corporation (COST) is in a mixed position. Some indicators are above average, others below, but nothing is at an extreme level that defines the current setup strongly in either direction. These readings update daily. Flipside shows what is happening now, grounded in the data — not what will happen next.

Technical Analysis

Costco Is Near All-Time Highs While the Market Sells Off. The Data Says That's Happened Before.

Costco is up nearly 20% in 63 days — a reading in the 99.6th percentile of its own history — while the broader market sells off. Every analyst knows the defensive rotation story. What they're not showing you: across 25 historical episodes where Costco's extension hit this level, the 21-day positive rate was just 52%. But split by one variable — volatility regime — that number swings from 72% to 33%. Today's volatility is at the 6th percentile. That changes everything.
