Leslie's KDJ Death Cross, Bearish Marubozu Triggered on 15-Minute Chart

The 15-minute chart for Leslie's stock has recently triggered a KDJ Death Cross and a Bearish Marubozu pattern on October 16, 2025, at 13:45. This indicates that the momentum of the stock price is shifting towards the downside and may continue to decline, with sellers currently in control of the market. As a result, the bearish momentum is likely to persist.

Vivakor (VIVK) shares experienced a significant rally on October 15, 2025, following the announcement of a $40 million commodity credit facility for its crude-oil trading arm, according to a TS2.Tech article. The stock opened around $0.25 and reached a high of ~$0.37 intraday, representing a ~50–75% increase over the prior day's close (~$0.19). This surge was accompanied by massive trading volume, with approximately 230 million shares traded.

The new funding comes on the heels of a term sheet signed in late September to raise $23 million via convertible preferred stock. This deal is aimed at expanding Vivakor's oil marketing and remediation businesses. Additionally, the company has recently received a 180-day extension from Nasdaq to meet the $1.00 minimum bid price, giving it until March 16, 2026, to avoid delisting.

Vivakor's stock performance has been highly volatile. It peaked at about $1.68 earlier in 2025 but plunged below $0.20 before the recent rally. The company's fundamentals remain weak, with a net loss of about $23.0 million for full-year 2024, nearly doubling the loss from 2023.

The latest deal is expected to support Vivakor's crude-oil marketing and logistics push. The commodity credit facility, with a one-year term and up to $40M in available credit support, is intended to underwrite letters of credit, bonds, or cash deposits to support Vivakor Supply & Trading, LLC’s physical crude oil purchases. CEO James Ballengee stated that this arrangement will enable Vivakor to integrate more oil volumes across its trucks and facilities and drive immediate accretive revenue.

However, not all analysts are optimistic. Vivakor's stock is viewed as highly speculative, with technical analyses indicating several negative signals and a falling trend. The share price is currently far below Nasdaq's $1 minimum bid, and the company has until March 16, 2026, to get its stock above $1 for ten consecutive days. If this deadline is not met, Vivakor may execute a reverse stock split.

Some forecasting services see significant upside for Vivakor, projecting the share average to reach ~$0.76 by end-2025 and over $1 by 2027. However, analysts caution that until Vivakor can consistently generate profits or lift its price above compliance levels, speculative spikes may be followed by steep falls. Investors will be closely watching whether the new oil trading facility boosts revenue or if the Nasdaq compliance clock forces more dilution, which could erode shareholder value.
