The technical read on CART is balanced, which usually means the market is waiting on a catalyst. Earnings and guidance carry more weight than macro data at this capitalisation.

Behaviour On Record

What CART's own history says about today's numbers

Realized volatility (21d)
38.1% 24th pct
vs 200-day average
+16.5%
Up days (1y)
50%

Maplebear Inc. is currently running 38.1% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against CART's own 3 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 24th percentile — unusually subdued by its own history, against a typical reading of 45.1%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

Price sits +16.5% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 76th percentile — a somewhat wider gap than its own norm. Over the past year CART closed higher on 50% of sessions, and it is currently 4 sessions into a rising streak.

Overnight risk is measurable too: CART has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 66 of 769 sessions (8.6% of the time), with the largest gaps running +4.8% and -6.8%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

All figures computed from 770 daily closes between 2023-09-19 and 2026-10-13, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against CART's own 3-year history, not a peer group or index.
