This chart in words

The chart plots daily Reddit mentions of COST over the 30 days to 20 October 2026: 405 in total, busiest on 24 September with 40, and 10 on the last day counted. Across this window the close ran between $896 on 24 September and $995.13 on 19 October. The line is the daily close over the same window: $898 on 21 September, $995.13 on 19 October. Of those days, 21 were trading sessions and the other 9 are hatched on the chart. On 8 of them no session took place, and the last close before it is carried forward rather than plotted; on 1 of them we hold no close at all, which is a gap in our own record rather than a closure we can prove. Sentiment — the bullish share of the mentions that took a side, where the chart's dashed rule marks the 50% at which bullish and bearish are even — ran from 70% bullish to 92% bullish over the 30 days that carried enough mentions to measure.
