Offerpad Solutions Inc. (NYSE:OPAD) stock fell 26.65% to $4.57 in after-hours trading, following an 85.42% intraday surge. The volatility is linked to interest rate expectations and housing market fluctuations. Initial gains were driven by optimism over Federal Reserve rate cuts, benefiting companies reliant on housing turnover. However, technical resistance at $4.85 triggered a selloff. Despite the drop, OPAD has surged over 310% in two months, reflecting strong momentum in the market.

iBuyer Stock Extends Volatile Trading Pattern

OPAD dropped 26.65% to $4.57 during after-hours trading on Thursday, following an 85.42% intraday surge.

Fed Policy Optimism Drives Initial Rally

OPAD’s morning surge mirrored moves in Opendoor Technologies Inc. OPEN, as Federal Reserve rate cut expectations boosted iBuyer sentiment. Both companies’ business models depend heavily on housing turnover and mortgage affordability, making them sensitive to interest rate policy.

Investment banks, including Morgan Stanley MS, Goldman Sachs GS and JPMorgan Chase JPM have forecasted multiple Fed easing rounds through 2026. Lower borrowing costs would directly benefit companies relying on housing market activity.

Technical Resistance Triggers Selloff

The Californian online real estate company hit technical resistance near $4.85 mid-week, a level that has repeatedly triggered selling pressure over two years. The subsequent selloff cascaded to OPAD, with investors treating it as a “high-beta version” of Opendoor.

OPAD has surged over 310% in two months, driven partly by retail investor frenzy surrounding Opendoor’s 821% rally.

Price Action: According to Benzinga Pro, Offerpad closed at $6.23 on Thursday.
