Why is Reddit, Inc. (RDDT) stock moving?

Reddit Inc. (RDDT) trades in an active consolidation zone following its late-October earnings sell-off from above $130 down to a low of $89.28. While Q3 results showed exceptional execution with revenue up 53% YoY to $895M and gross margins at 91.5%, investor sentiment took a severe hit after management disclosed a weekly loss of over 1 million search referrals caused by Google's AI Overviews and guided Q4 revenue to $1.00B–$1.03B. After rebounding above $101 on Nov 4, shares gave back gains to close at $93.81 on Nov 5, demonstrating persistent resistance near the $100–$105 zone. Nonetheless, core monetization remains robust because logged-in and mobile app users generate over 80% of revenue, and ARPU expanded 36% to $6.87. Technical support is establishing between $89 and $91, setting the stage for range-bound digestion.
