WDAY Workday, Inc.
Workday, Inc. (WDAY) trend channel, buy level and 3-month target on Trade The Path. Sector: Technology. Listed on NASDAQ. Levels below are fitted to this ticker's own swing highs and lows (Theil–Sen, log-price), then projected 3 months. If this ticker has no settled sample yet, treat the numbers as a geometric read, not a track record. Information only, not financial advice.
Broken out above, falling on both timeframes
Price has closed above the channel. The fitted trend may no longer describe this stock.
The next few months are read from the last 12 months, not the last 18 months: that channel fits this stock's recent turns at least as well (60% against 57%) and it is the one price is respecting now. The last 18 months stay as context: falling, −35% a year. The target of US$198.43 is below the nearest ceiling (US$224.23), so it does not depend on a breakout. What would overturn this: a close below US$112.79 — the floor of the channel being read — after which the trend, not the entry, is what was wrong.

Price sits between our buy level and our target.
The lines are drawn where this stock has actually turned: 4 touches on the ceiling, 3 on the floor, each fitted to the slope that catches the most of them. Buying one average daily range below its 50-day mean, on heavier volume than usual and while it is still above its 200-day mean, has come up 791 times; measured against the 6% floor — the least a call has to be worth to be worth making, not what it aims at — 73% cleared it, typically in 34 days, with price going about 5% against the entry along the way (63% in the worst case we have on record). Trades that have not reached the target within 3 months are counted as misses, whatever they are worth at the time. The prices above are this stock’s own — its average, its volatility — but the setup is the same one we apply everywhere: derived on eight unrelated tickers, then confirmed on 87 others it was never fitted to. We deliberately do not tune it to each stock: doing so scores worse on history the tuning never saw — 58% against 71% — because it fits the past rather than the future. On this stock the setup has come up 6 times so far, reaching target 50% of the time — too few to mean much on its own. The sell price comes from where this stock is projected to be, not from a minimum worth taking: the fitted path reaches more than 30% above the entry within 90 days, and of the sizes that path supports, 20% is the one that has returned the most per day of money tied up here — measured over 146 stretches of this stock’s own history, since the published entry itself is too rare here to size a target from, reached 42% of the time, typically in 51 days. Smaller sizes got there sooner but paid less for the weeks they used; larger ones need a break above the projected ceiling, which is not the base case. The date published is whichever is later: that typical time, or the day the projected path itself reaches the price. It is a prediction, so it can be revised: if the run tops out before it gets there, the target is cut to what is actually on the table and you are told the same day. An ordinary pullback is not treated as topping out — those go on to make a new high about 8 times in 10, so they are ridden through. What triggers the revision is price closing below its 50-day trend and staying there, after which the odds of recovery fall to roughly 3 in 10.
