Catalysts

  • Primary trend is strongly bullish. Price is well above both the 50-day and 200-day SMAs, both of which are rising. The golden cross structure (50-day > 200-day) has been intact throughout the window.
  • The June sell-off was a shakeout, not a reversal. The V-shaped recovery, combined with the MACD bullish crossover in early July, suggests dip-buying demand.
  • Momentum is positive but not overextended. RSI at 63.9 (post-cooling from 71.7) leaves room for further upside before reaching overbought extremes again.

Risks

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