Monthly Chart
The monthly chart captures the explosive multi-year uptrend that pushed VST from under $20 into the $200+ zone, driven by surging power prices, massive generation capacity, and strong forward guidance.
Price peaked at $219.82, then pulled back sharply, breaking below short-term momentum but still holding above major structural supports. The Fibonacci retracement from the most recent leg up shows price sitting just over the 50% retracement at $155.17 with deeper support at the 61.8% level around $143.87–$139.91.
The rising red trend channel remains intact on the larger timeframe, but VST needs to hold above these mid-channel levels or risk a deeper retest toward the lower trendline near $110–$120.
After such a parabolic run, the stock is finally cooling off — and this pullback is where long-term buyers will decide whether the trend continues.
With plenty of volatility traders have had much to be happy with but long term buy and hold investors may not be so happy and getting tired of waiting.
This kind of movement highlights why a cautious and well-informed approach is essential when evaluating a stock’s short to mid term outlook.
Weekly Chart
The weekly chart reveals the active battleground more clearly.
After tagging the $219.82 high, price rolled over into a multi-week decline and is now sitting below multiple recent swing highs. There’s a confluence of support at the 50% retracement ($155.17) and the broader 61.8% zone ($143.87–$139.91) — key levels where buyers could step back in during healthy trend corrections.
The large intersecting red trendlines create a tightening structure beneath price, meaning VST is approaching a point where it must either bounce or risk losing trend control entirely. A breakdown from here would expose lower targets at $118, $107, and $90.51.
All the necessary price action is now happening between $168.67 resistance and the cluster of Fibonacci supports below. Whichever direction wins this zone likely dictates the next multi-month move.
It goes without saying though, the only guarantee in the markets is that price cycles. It cycles up and it cycles down across all time frames and all charts and rarely, if ever, moves in a straight line.
