Through June 25, Robinhood recorded equity notional trading volumes of approximately $343 billion, options contracts traded of about 274 million, and crypto notional trading volumes of around $14 billion. Event contracts traded reached approximately 5.2 billion.Critical Levels To Watch for HOOD StockHOOD is extended to the upside versus its key trend gauges, trading 17.6% above the 20-day SMA ($95.57) and 30.6% above the 50-day SMA ($86.06), which signals strong intermediate momentum but also raises the odds of sharper pullbacks if buyers pause. It’s also 9.8% above the 200-day SMA ($102.38), keeping the longer-term trend constructive even after the stock’s earlier volatility.The moving-average picture is mixed under the hood: the 20-day SMA is above the 50-day SMA (bullish), but the 50-day SMA remains below the 200-day SMA following the death cross in February.
