Analyst Summary
Near-term structure remains constructive with price trading above the 20-day SMA (8,090). Momentum at 52 is in the sweet spot: bullish enough to confirm direction, not so extended as to warrant caution. The MACD reading is bearish — histogram below zero and expanding, suggesting selling pressure has momentum behind it. Our 31-strategy scoring model ranks Long Strangle as the highest-conviction play at 52%.
