On Tuesday, Ouster, Inc. (NASDAQ:OUST) stock surged after the lidar maker announced a strategic partnership with ARGUS Interception GmbH to integrate Ouster’s digital lidar technology into ARGUS’ A1-Falke counter-drone interception platform.
The companies said the collaboration is designed to improve precision and reliability in non-kinetic drone defense operations, particularly for protecting critical infrastructure and public spaces. ARGUS also plans to evaluate Ouster’s Rev8 lidar platform for next-generation interception capabilities.
The rally added to Ouster’s recent momentum after the company said its Rev8 operating system family achieved sensor qualification for NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) DRIVE Hyperion platform.
Investor sentiment has also been boosted by the rollout of Ouster’s Rev8 OS sensor family, which includes native color lidar technology developed with FUJIFILM.
OUST Technical Analysis: Trend, Momentum And Key Levels
Ouster’s stock has shown impressive long-term performance, with a 12-month gain of 241.92%. Currently, the stock is trading significantly above its moving averages: 36.5% above the 20-day SMA, 61.8% above the 50-day SMA, and 70.7% above the 100-day SMA.
The 50-day SMA is below the 200-day SMA, indicating a death cross that occurred in February, which could suggest caution for short-term traders. However, the recent price action indicates a bullish trend, supported by the news of the partnership with ARGUS.
The primary momentum indicator to consider here is the MACD, which is currently above its signal line, suggesting that momentum is building in favor of the stock. This indicates a positive shift in buying pressure, which aligns with the recent price increase.
- Key Resistance: $41.50 — a nearby level where rebounds can stall, potentially acting as a barrier to further gains.
- Key Support: $29.45 — this level is significant as it aligns with the 20-day SMA, providing a potential floor for the stock.
