Analyst Summary
The 20-day SMA (73.06) remains unbroken on the downside β€” bulls retain structural control of the near-term tape. Momentum at 63 is in the sweet spot: bullish enough to confirm direction, not so extended as to warrant caution. The MACD reading adds conviction to the long thesis β€” positive and expanding histogram with a bullish signal-line cross. At 1.6x normal volume, the flow data confirms institutional participation. This is a high-conviction move.

OVERSOLDNEUTRALOVERBOUGHT
Analyst Summary
Short-term trend damage is confirmed below the 20-day SMA (3.17). The path of least resistance points lower until this level is recovered. Momentum at 38 reflects a tape under pressure. Bulls need to push the oscillator back above 50 to shift the narrative. The convergence-divergence oscillator is in bearish mode. Histogram expansion below zero signals sustained selling pressure. Low-conviction tape β€” volume at 0.7x average means the move lacks the sponsorship for sustained follow-through.
