The Trade Desk, Inc.
Here’s whether The Trade Desk, Inc. (TTD) is worth buying in 2026 — based on weekly-updated price trend, RSI momentum, and return vs. the S&P 500. Our current read: Bearish.
Positives: RSI 57 — healthy momentum range. Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); below the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum negative); 50-day MA is falling (-7.81% over 10 days); weak 1-year return of -53.6%; 3-month momentum negative (-36.7%). Currently 75.4% off its 52-week high. Score: -5/7.
TTD is trading below its 200-day MA ($44.22) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 57.0 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -53.6% compares to +35.1% for SPY (trailed the market by 88.7%). The current 75.4% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
