The structural read

What price action says about CRK.

CRK qualifies for the Red List on decline depth — down -52.3% from its rolling 252-day high. Past the 40% threshold, the deepest tier in the taxonomy.

Cross-confirmation: decline sigma also reads 4.8σ over 20 bars.

Alongside that decline, our proprietary engine has flagged a confirmed bullish structural signal on one or more time frames — moderate or strong time-frame-continuity (TFC) alignment — so the ticker also carries a Recovering badge. The two readings coexist: the tier tells you how deep the damage is, the Recovering badge tells you whether momentum may be turning. Recovering is not a buy signal; it's a structural read.

Upstream TFC read: moderate alignment, current phase daily. Last bar types — daily 2U (green), weekly 1 (green), monthly 2D (red).

Earnings on file: 2026-02-11. Tiering is unaffected by earnings dates — listings reflect price structure only.

Questions about CRK

What people ask.

Why is CRK on Broken Stocks?

CRK qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -52.3% from its rolling 252-day high of $31.17, set on 2025-06-23 — 325d ago. It additionally carries a Recovering badge — see below.

What does the Recovering badge mean for CRK?

Recovering means our proprietary engine has flagged a confirmed bullish structural signal on one or more time frames (moderate or strong time-frame continuity). It coexists with the decline tier — CRK is still Red List because the rolling-252-day decline hasn't healed, but a bullish setup has formed inside that decline. The two readings answer different questions: the tier tells you how deep the damage is; the Recovering badge tells you whether momentum may be turning. It's not a buy recommendation.

Is CRK a falling knife?

Not by the strict technical definition. CRK is down -52.3% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 325d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. CRK is still on the Red List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.

Is CRK a buy?

Broken Stocks does not issue buy or sell recommendations. The list is a rules-based technical warning system. It tracks structural decline depth and recency — not company quality, management, fundamentals, or news. Always do your own research and consult a licensed advisor.

Where is CRK trading inside its 52-week range?

At $14.88, CRK sits 1.4% of the way from its 52-week low ($14.65) to its 52-week high ($31.17). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has CRK been declining?

The current 52.3% decline accrued over 325d, which annualizes to roughly -58.7% per year. Annualized pace is a sanity check — a 30% decline in three months is a different signal than a 30% decline over two years.

How does CRK compare to its sector?

There are 19 other Energy tickers on Broken Stocks: 7 Red, 3 Amber, 9 Watch, with 6 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -27.2% — CRK's decline is deeper than the sector median.

Does CRK's earnings date affect its tier?

No. Tiering is decided purely by decline depth and recency of the rolling-high date. The earnings date on file (2026-02-11) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
