StockMarketLoop's Market Position model estimates how the shares traded between 2026-08-11 and 2026-11-09 were bought. Its estimate of the average cost basis is $238.84; at $246.42 the stock trades 3.2% above that level. About 65.1% of those shares are estimated to be held at a profit at the current price. A majority in profit means most recent buyers are in the green: fewer trapped holders overhead, but also more people with gains who might sell. The densest nearby clusters of cost basis sit around $232.87 (support) and $251.10 (resistance). Roughly 70% of the estimated cost basis lies between $225.51 and $252.86, and 90% between $220.60 and $257.07.
This is a model estimate built from price and volume history, not a record of actual positions.
