OPTT is trading below its 200-day MA ($0.36) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. With an RSI of 87.9, momentum has stretched into overbought territory — short-term pullbacks are common from these levels. The 1-year return of -58.3% compares to +20.4% for SPY (trailed the market by 78.6%). The current 71.3% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
