Bullish shares have staged a sharp rebound from their lows, with technical readings showing the stock climbing out of deeply oversold territory even as investors wait for the company to prove its new product push can translate into earnings.
Bullish shares rebound on tokenized equity trading
The move matters because Bullish is trying to reframe itself from a beaten-up crypto trading name into a broader digital-asset market infrastructure play. That shift, anchored by its launch of tokenized equity trading, gives the company a fresh growth narrative at a time when the shares had been priced for disappointment. For investors, the question is no longer whether the stock can bounce — it clearly has — but whether the business can sustain margin support and justify a higher multiple.
Bullish closed at $37.58 on Sept. 25 after touching as low as $24.90 in February, a trough that left the stock trading far below its 50-day moving average at 29.62 earlier in the session history and under its 200-day average near 33.68. The share price has more than recovered from that low, but recent price action also shows how volatile the name remains: the stock has swung from $40.11 on Sept. 23 to $37.58 two sessions later.
That rebound has been accompanied by a meaningful improvement in momentum. On the latest readings, the 14-day relative strength index was 53.4, up from a deeply oversold 8.5 in February, while the MACD remained positive versus its signal line, suggesting the recent uptrend is still intact. Volume, however, has not matched the most aggressive phases of the selloff, implying the rally is being driven as much by short-covering and relief buying as by a sustained institutional re-rating.
The fundamental catalyst is Bullish’s effort to broaden its platform. In August, the company said it had launched tokenized equity trading, a move that potentially opens the door to new trading activity and fee streams as digital finance firms look to connect traditional assets with blockchain-based markets. For a company whose valuation has been hit hard by skepticism around liquidity, profitability and the durability of crypto activity, even incremental product traction can matter.
Still, the bull case depends on execution, not just innovation. Tokenized trading is strategically important, but investors will want proof that it can generate meaningful volumes without adding regulatory or operational risk. The bear case is that the stock’s recovery reflects a technical snapback in a highly shorted, sentiment-driven name rather than a durable change in earnings power.
For now, Bullish is benefiting from a familiar market setup: a formerly crowded short, a deeply washed-out chart and a corporate story with enough optionality to keep traders interested. Whether that turns into a longer-lasting rerating will depend on the company’s next set of metrics and whether the tokenization strategy can move from headline value to actual revenue.
