Peloton Still Forgets How to Ride a Bike

The shares took another hit today after sinking the past 12 months.

Peloton Interactive (PTON) is under pressure by bearish traders on the heels of the news that their co-founders have resigned. I wonder what employees in the breakroom are talking about when the founders jump ship? Morale must be terrible.

Let's check out the charts.

Unfortunately the trading volume is not increasing on up days and the On-Balance-Volume (OBV) line shows only minimal improvement from July. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) oscillator is hugging the zero line telling us there is little in the way of "trend strength."
