The 50-day moving average of the stock is $9.02 while the 200-day moving average is $6.49. The 3-month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) for the stock is -0.06 and the Average True Range (ATR) is 5.84. The key support and resistance levels for this stock are at $8.18 and $9.16 respectively.
Fundamental Analysis
Despite having a negative EPS of -0.31 leading to a negative PE ratio of -26.48, SOFI still presents a favorable investment opportunity as per the consensus of analysts. The discounted cash flow (DCF) is valued at $9.78 which is higher than its last close price, indicating that the stock might be undervalued.

Relevant News
In recent news, SOFI continues to gain momentum with its user base across its platform. The company has delivered robust earnings, and despite retreats post-earnings, is recommended as a stock to keep betting on. It is currently valued far less than many private fintech firms and barely trades at a premium compared to other banks. The firm's expansion into the mortgage loan market could be a major booster for its growth.
Prediction and Final Evaluation
Based on the above analysis and current trading conditions, it is likely that the stock price on the next trading day (August 22, 2023) would oscillate around the support and resistance levels of $8.18 and $9.16. In the upcoming week, observing the low 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI), we might see a bounce-back owing to the oversold condition.
Taking into account both the technical and fundamental analysis, as well as the positive news about the company's growth and earnings, the final evaluation categorizes SOFI as a 'Buy'. Investors should, however, proceed with caution given the stock's recent volatile price movements and consider their risk tolerance.
