Roblox (RBLX) nears major bounce level

Gareth Soloway Verified Investing

Shares of Roblox (RBLX) have been in freefall. In July, RBLX traded as high as $150. This past Friday, December 19th, 2025, it closed below $82.00.

While the company raised guidance in their last quarterly earnings conference call, the company did say there would be some margin compression.

The main factors are as follows:

Infrastructure & Safety: Roblox is aggressively spending on AI-based safety tools (like facial age estimation) and data centers to support its massive user base.
Developer Economics (DevEx): The company recently increased payouts to creators to keep the "content flywheel" spinning, which eats into its own take-rate.
Tough Comparisons: After a "blockbuster" 2025 fueled by viral hits, investors are worried that growth will appear much slower in 2026 by comparison

As a technical trader, a freefall in price presents an opportunity. Looking for major technical support can give investors an edge on buying high quality companies at a discount. For RBLX, the major support is at $75.50. The former major pivot high from February 2025 is at this point. Based on technical analysis, price should see a strong bounce.
