Analyst Summary
The 20-day SMA (25,403) remains unbroken on the downside — bulls retain structural control of the near-term tape. With RSI at 69, the risk/reward for new long entries deteriorates. Favour strategies that benefit from a pullback or consolidation. The MACD reading adds conviction to the long thesis — positive and expanding histogram with a bullish signal-line cross. Our 31-strategy scoring model ranks Short Put (Cash-Secured) as the highest-conviction play at 57%.
