RES is trading with the trend behind it, which is what pushes the technical read bullish. Position sizing matters more than usual in a name this size, where volatility is structural.

Behaviour On Record

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

Realized volatility (21d)
41.3% 35th pct
Below its peak
-77.9%
vs 200-day average
-7.6%
Up days (1y)
51%

RPC, Inc. is currently running 41.3% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against RES's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 35th percentile — on the quiet side for this stock, against a typical reading of 47.1%.

RES is trading -77.9% below its running peak. Across 13 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -47.9%, and the deepest was -74.9% in 2019. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began, and where past declines also continued.

Price sits -7.6% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 46th percentile — close to the gap it normally carries. Over the past year RES closed higher on 51% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a falling streak.

On November specifically: over 13 years of records, RES finished the month higher 4 of 13 times, with a median return of -3.6% and an average of -2.6%. Its strongest month historically has been April at +4.7% on average, its weakest May at -6.3%.

Overnight risk is measurable too: RES has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 514 of 3,267 sessions (15.7% of the time), with the largest gaps running +25.5% and -14.6%.

All figures computed from 3,268 daily closes between 2013-11-06 and 2026-11-04, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against RES's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
