Symbotic Inc. (SYM) has seen a significant shift in its stock price and institutional holdings over the past few months, with notable technical signals indicating a potential downward trend. On September 3, 2025, at 14:00, the 15-minute chart of Symbotic's stock triggered a MACD Death Cross and Bollinger Bands Expanding Downward, signaling a potential continuation of the stock's decline [2].

During the first quarter of 2025, PDT Partners LLC increased its stake in Symbotic by 154.4%, acquiring 120,937 shares valued at approximately $2.4 million. This substantial increase in institutional ownership is part of a broader trend, with other hedge funds also bolstering their positions in the company. Raymond James Financial Inc. lifted its holdings by 12.1%, Exchange Traded Concepts LLC by 18.0%, TCW Group Inc. by 1.8%, ARK Investment Management LLC by 106.9%, and Two Sigma Investments LP by 26.2% [1].

Despite the strong institutional buying, Symbotic's stock has been under pressure. The company reported earnings per share of ($0.05) for the quarter, missing analyst expectations by ($0.08) and posting a negative return on equity of 2.02% and a negative net margin of 0.38%. However, the company did report a 25.9% year-over-year revenue increase of $592.12 million [1].

Technical indicators are providing further bearish signals. The MACD line has crossed below its signal line, and the Bollinger Bands are expanding downward, indicating a potential continuation of the stock's decline. Additionally, the stock has fallen 7.6% over two days, with technical indicators signaling bearish momentum. The price has fallen below the 50-day and 100-day moving averages, and the 50-day moving average has crossed below the 100-day moving average, forming a "death cross" [2].

The stock's recent price action has seen it fall from $50.14 to $45.59, with key support forming near the $43.34 low and resistance at $47.43. The price is currently near the lower bound of the Bollinger Bands and the key Fibonacci support level at $43.34-$44.65, suggesting a critical inflection point. Sustained break below $44.65 could trigger deeper declines toward the $38.50 long-term moving average [2].

While the strong institutional buying indicates confidence in Symbotic's long-term prospects, the recent technical signals suggest that the stock may continue to face selling pressure in the near term. Investors should closely monitor these technical indicators and the company's earnings reports for further insights into its stock price movement.
