$SoFi Technologies (SOFI.US)$ call options volume jumped as stocks advanced after the provider of digital financial services announced a $2 billion agreement with Fortress Investment Group.

"SoFi's $2 billion agreement to use Fortress Investment Group funds for loan originations can boost the fintech's referral revenue, while expanding its lending-platform business, which already includes partners such as Pagaya," Bloomberg Intelligence analysts wrote in a note Monday. "The pact extends origination capacity in a capital-efficient manner and SoFi could retain customers on its platform for cross-selling purposes."
Monday's rally took the stock's gains over the past year to 21%. Technical indicators tracked by moomoo are now flashing early warning signals, with 12 of the 15 gauges showing that the stock could now be overbought, and the trend may be turning bearish.
Only the moving average shows that the trend is relatively bullish, while the moving average convergence divergence and the Bollinger Bands are both neutral.
Amid the 9% rally, the stock is now trading above the 30-day and other longer-term moving averages. That shows to some who study charts that the stock is now in long alignment and the trend could be turning relatively bullish.
