ORCL sits 18% above its 52-week low of $114.5.
Summary
Oracle shares fell 5.49% to $135.68 after reports that OpenAI's annualized revenue is roughly $20 billion below prior signals, casting doubt on the $500 billion compute agreement between the two companies.

The stock remains in a longer-term downtrend, trading below all major moving averages, with key support at $131.50 and resistance at $153.50.
