If You Invested $100 In This Stock 15 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

ICE is currently in its 8th Phase of the 18-Phase Adhishthana Cycle. While the structure appears strong and suggests a potential breakout, a pullback may occur before that breakout takes place. Here&#8217;s a breakdown of the setup and why a delay is more likely to occur.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">ICE So Far: Strong Alignment with Adhishthana Principles</h3>
ICE has demonstrated a 90% alignment with the Adhishthana Principles, our proprietary framework that forecasts stock behavior through cyclical analysis, incorporating both quantitative signals and behavioral archetypes.
Some of its strongest and clearest alignments have come in Phases 3, 6, and 7:
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Phase 3: The Yajya Formation</h4>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="616" height="538" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06132539/ICE-Phase-3-Adhishthana.png" alt="Fig.1 ICE Phase 3 (Source: Adhishthana.com)" class="wp-image-14024" style="width:445px;height:auto" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06132539/ICE-Phase-3-Adhishthana.png 616w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06132539/ICE-Phase-3-Adhishthana-300x262.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Fig.1 Phase 3 (Source: Adhishthana.com)</figcaption></figure>
In Phase 3, ICE rallied briefly, formed an arc, and then dropped sharply — a textbook example of the Yajya Formation. The decline of approximately 33% confirmed the pattern's integrity.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Phase 6: The Level of Nirvana</h4>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1082" height="706" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06132612/ICE-Phase-6-Adhishthana.png" alt="Fig.2 ICE Phase 6 (Source: Adhishthana.com)" class="wp-image-14025" style="width:671px;height:auto" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06132612/ICE-Phase-6-Adhishthana.png 1082w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06132612/ICE-Phase-6-Adhishthana-300x196.png 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06132612/ICE-Phase-6-Adhishthana-1024x668.png 1024w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06132612/ICE-Phase-6-Adhishthana-768x501.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1082px) 100vw, 1082px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Fig.2 Phase 6 (Source: Adhishthana.com)</figcaption></figure>
After 24 bars of trading, ICE established its Nirvana Level at 122.46. This level now acts as a key valuation barometer throughout the cycle and serves as a gravitational level for any future selling pressure.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Phase 7: The Fall of Artha and Artharthi</h4>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="772" height="472" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06132651/ICE-Phase-7-Adhishthana.png" alt="Fig.3 ICE Phase 7 (Source: Adhishthana.com)" class="wp-image-14026" style="width:523px;height:auto" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06132651/ICE-Phase-7-Adhishthana.png 772w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06132651/ICE-Phase-7-Adhishthana-300x183.png 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06132651/ICE-Phase-7-Adhishthana-768x470.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 772px) 100vw, 772px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Fig.3 Phase 7 (Source: Adhishthana.com)</figcaption></figure>
In Phase 7, ICE followed the Adhishthana expectation almost perfectly, it dropped roughly 15% and formed exactly seven red bars before beginning to recover, consistent with Phase 7 behavior.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why a Breakout May Be Delayed</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1200" height="539" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06133226/ICE-Cakra-Structure-Adhishthana.png" alt="Fig.4 ICE Adhishthana Cakra Structure (Source: Adhishthana.com)" class="wp-image-14027" style="width:641px;height:auto" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06133226/ICE-Cakra-Structure-Adhishthana.png 1200w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06133226/ICE-Cakra-Structure-Adhishthana-300x135.png 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06133226/ICE-Cakra-Structure-Adhishthana-1024x460.png 1024w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06133226/ICE-Cakra-Structure-Adhishthana-768x345.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Fig.4 Adhishthana Cakra Structure (Source: Adhishthana.com)</figcaption></figure>
Despite the bullish setup, ICE is currently in Phase 8, a stage where stocks typically complete the Cakra, a curved, often bullish channel that spans from Phases 4 through 8.
Right now, ICE is near the upper end of its Cakra, and continuing higher from here would indicate that it is breaking above the Cakra before the optimal time. According to the principles, such a breakout should happen in Phase 9, which starts on 6 October 2025.
Note: For more on this, read my Benzinga article where I break down CrowdStrike's structure and discuss the risks of a premature breakout: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45789662/crowdstrike-why-investors-should-stay-cautious">CrowdStrike: Why Investors Should Stay Cautious</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Outlook and Investor Takeaway</h3>
Given the high alignment ICE has shown with Adhishthana Principles, it is more likely that the stock will retest the lower end of the Cakra, around the $160-150 level, before a meaningful breakout can occur in Phase 9.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Existing Longs: Consider hedging your positions in the short term. </li>
<li>Potential Buyers: Patience is the key &#8211; wait for a potential pullback near $160-150 to enter and ride the Phase 9 breakout. </li>
<li>It is also advisable to monitor the Cakra closely, as a breakdown from it could trigger a deep and prolonged bearish move.</li>

Intercontinental Exchange's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICE#NYSE">ICE</a>) short percent of float has fallen 4.21% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 5.17 million shares sold short, which is 0.91% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.05 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Intercontinental Exchange Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747227625_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Intercontinental Exchange has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Intercontinental Exchange's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Intercontinental Exchange's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.25%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Analysts typically assess and rate each stock once per quarter.
Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings.

$100 Invested In Intercontinental Exchange 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Editor&#8217;s Note: The article has been udpated to correct the Stock Movers list.
Wall Street pushed higher in midday trading, with the S&amp;P 500 on track for its eighth consecutive gain — its longest winning streak since November 2023. The index rose about 1% to 5,560, fully recovering the losses sustained after former President Donald Trump announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">trade tariffs on April 2.</a>
Technology stocks led the rally, with the Nasdaq 100 climbing 1.5%. Strong and resilient corporate earnings continue to fuel investor appetite for risk, helping markets shrug off recent tariff concerns.
President Trump reassured investors, stating that progress on trade negotiations is going "very well" and that the timeline for the tax bill remains on schedule.
On the economic front, data continued to paint a weaker picture. After Wednesday's disappointing first-quarter GDP report, the ISM manufacturing PMI showed factory activity contracted for the second straight month in April. Meanwhile, price pressures surged at the fastest pace since June 2022, reflecting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45139383/us-manufacturing-activity-contracts-in-april-as-tariffs-push-input-prices-toward-3-year-highs">inflationary effects from tariffs.</a>
Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>) was a standout gainer, soaring 8.60% after delivering a blowout quarter that beat expectations across the board, reinforcing its leadership in cloud and AI. The stock reached its highest level since late January.
Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) also topped estimates, with shares climbing more than 4%.
Sector-wise, technology outperformed, while health care lagged. Eli Lilly And Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) plunged over 9% after the pharmaceutical giant cut its 2025 guidance.
Crude oil erased early losses, rebounding to $58 per barrel after briefly dipping below $57. Gold slipped 2.2% to a two-week low.
The U.S. dollar strengthened to its highest level in over two weeks, bolstered by manufacturing surveys showing rising input costs tied to tariffs.
Treasury yields climbed for a second straight session, with the 10-year yield rising to 4.21%.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) surged past the $97,000 mark, hitting its highest level in over two months.
