Blue Owl Capital Inc. (OWL), an alternative asset management firm specializing in direct lending and credit strategies, finds itself in a precarious technical position that’s caught the attention of chart watchers.

The downward-sloping neckline reveals persistent selling pressure even during the rally attempts, suggesting underlying weakness that never allowed proper consolidation. Think of it as buyers who couldn’t even establish a stable base between peaks getting weaker with each attempt. The measured move calculation from this formation is what should really grab your attention. Using the distance from the Head to the neckline and projecting it downward from the breakdown point, the target comes in under $1.75.
