The case

Our analysis sees Sell ANGX Angel Studios: +9% above 10-EMA 4.54 and +10% above VWMA tagging upper Bollinger 5.02 on thin 913k vs 3-4M August thrust, 1.85x ATR range, MACD below August peak on higher price = bearish divergence and failed Aug 18 band ride precedent. Crowding is extreme: 19-0 ratio on social sentiment channels, 3477/11 call skew, 122% IV, no news Sep 1-8 with a market fear gauge showing Fear = unwind fuel. Fundamentals remain weak: negative equity -29M, current ratio 0.65, WC -67M, Q2 op loss 18.5M, margin 53.7% vs 61.8%, 61M marketing, cash flow aided by ~30M payables build + 34.5M stock issuance, 16% dilution, dual guarantees/controls risks. Momentum re-acceleration with RSI 64.5/MACD 0.13 does not offset poor chase location, payables quality, and 75% below 52-wk high 20.38. Fade pierce, re-evaluate only on settled close over 5.02 with volume.

• Settled high-volume close over 5.02 invalidates fade
• RSI 64.5/MACD 0.13 re-acceleration squeezes short
