Extension (how stretched price is vs its own history), Momentum (RSI, MACD, rate of change), Flow (volume and money flow), and Volatility (how quiet or active). 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 above average (84th percentile), momentum is historically elevated (95th percentile), flow is historically elevated (92nd percentile), volatility is slightly below average (37th percentile). All three directional dimensions are elevated — price is extended, momentum is strong, and flow is positive. The asset is in a high-energy state. Moves like this can persist, but the lack of any dimension at a low percentile means there is limited margin for error.

Conclusion

Costco Wholesale Corporation (COST) is in a high-energy state: extension and momentum are both at historically elevated levels. The trend is strong, though the lack of a low-percentile anchor means there is less cushion if the picture changes. A meaningful drop in flow percentile while price remains extended would be the signal that the move is becoming fragile. 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.
