Invalidation

Thesis weakens if catalysts slip or risk markers breach stated levels.

Bias

UNDERWEIGHT

Catalysts

  • Long-term trend remains bullish — the 50/200 SMA golden cross and the +51% annual return attest to a structurally positive trajectory.
  • Near-term momentum is fragile — RSI below 50 and collapsing MACD suggest buyers are not yet stepping in with conviction after the June selloff.
  • Critical support at the 50-day SMA (~$288) — a decisive break below this level would test the $267–$270 zone (200-day SMA support). A hold would reinforce the "dip-buying" pattern.

Risks

  • Event-driven repricing risk if expectations diverge from incoming evidence.
