The bearish backdrop is reinforced by the Death Cross that formed in March (the 50-day SMA below the 200-day SMA), which often keeps sellers active on bounces. Given where price sits, the near-term technical "job" for bulls is to reclaim the 20-day area and then work toward the 50-day zone, where overhead supply often shows up in downtrends. On the downside, the stock is still uncomfortably close to its 52-week low, so failed bounces can quickly turn into another support test. Key Resistance: $15.57 — Aligns with the 20-day SMA, a common first "sell zone" in downtrends Key Support: $13.86 — 52-week low area, where buyers previously defended the tape SOFI Stock Price Activity: SoFi shares were up 3.77% at $14.84 at the time of publication on Tuesday, according to Benzinga Pro data.
