Momentum at 62 is in the sweet spot: bullish enough to confirm direction, not so extended as to warrant caution. The convergence-divergence oscillator prints a bullish signal. Histogram expansion above zero validates the upside move. The structured approach identifies Long Call at 63% as the highest-probability play. Risk/reward and regime fit both favour this setup.
