Catalysts

  • Short-term bullish momentum is building – MACD crossover and RSI recovery point to a potential trend change, but confirmation is needed.
  • Price has reclaimed key moving averages (20-day SMA and VWMA), providing near-term support around $160–$162.
  • The long-term trend remains bearish – the overall structure from late 2025 is still lower highs and lower lows. Resistance near $173–$175 (April/May 2026 support-turned-resistance) is critical.

Risks

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