(NASDAQ: HOOD) is a US financial services firm known for a commission-free trading app. It was founded in 2013 and has millions of users worldwide.\n\nThe stock has fallen by more than 50% from its October 2025 peak. A June 2022 cycle ended in October 2025, followed by a deeper-than-expected pullback.\n\nAn Elliott wave view sets Wave (I) ending at 85 and Wave (II) bottoming at 6.81. Wave (III) then peaked at 153.86, with Wave (IV) now in progress.\n\nWave (IV) is projected to complete in the 62.85\u201341.37 zone. This aligns with a 61.8\u201376.4% Fibonacci retracement of the Wave (III) rise.\n\nOther levels noted include a 161.8% Fibonacci extension of the a\u2013b move at 56.74 and a February 2025 peak at 66.91. These figures are used to define a potential area where the decline could end.\n\nLooking back, our analysis correctly anticipated the end of the June 2022 cycle in October 2025, though the resulting pullback in HOOD was more severe than initially projected. The stock has indeed fallen significantly, creating uncertainty about whether this is a correction or a new bear market. From our current standpoint, the key is to see if the technical support zones we identified have held.\n\nThe price action over the last several months has been telling, as HOOD bottomed out near $54 in January 2026, falling squarely within our targeted Wave (IV) support zone of $62.85 to $41.37. This dip and subsequent rebound align perfectly with the forecast that this area, reinforced by Fibonacci levels, would attract buyers. This technical support was validated by fundamentals when the company&#8217;s Q4 2025 earnings report, released in late January, showed a 12% rise in crypto trading revenue, beating analyst expectations.\n\nThis price action suggests the corrective Wave (IV) is now complete, and the primary bullish trend is resuming. Recent data further supports this, showing a net increase of 1.5 million funded accounts in the first quarter of 2026, the strongest quarterly growth since 2024. This renewed user engagement, coupled with the stock holding critical technical levels, points toward the beginning of the next major impulse wave higher.\n\nFor derivative traders, this signals a shift from defensive to offensive positioning. With the stock having established a firm base, selling out-of-the-money put credit spreads with expirations in May and June 2026 can capitalize on the diminished downside risk and elevated implied volatility. The premium collected offers a cushion while benefiting from the expected upward drift or consolidation above the recent lows.\n\nAlternatively, traders with a more aggressive bullish bias should consider buying call options or call debit spreads. Look for strikes above the current price with expirations in the third quarter of 2026 to position for the anticipated Wave (V) rally. A clear break below the January low of $54 would serve as a crucial stop-loss level, as it would invalidate the current wave count and suggest a much deeper decline is unfolding.\n<p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Start trading now &#8211; Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarketsglobal.com\/en\/trade-now\/\">here<\/a> to create your real VT Markets account <\/strong> <\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:post-content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robinhood shares dropped over 50%; Elliott Wave suggests Wave IV may bottom in 62.85\u201341.37 zone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":38,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43867","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-live-updates"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"featured_image_src":null,"featured_image_src_square":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"josephine","author_link":"https:\/\/www.vtmarketsglobal.com\/en\/author\/josephine\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vtmarketsglobal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43867","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vtmarketsglobal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vtmarketsglobal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vtmarketsglobal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/38"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vtmarketsglobal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43867"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.vtmarketsglobal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43867\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vtmarketsglobal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43867"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vtmarketsglobal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43867"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vtmarketsglobal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43867"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
