Catalysts

  • Short-term bullish momentum is confirmed by the RSI recovery from oversold, a bullish MACD crossover, and price trading above both the VWMA and Bollinger middle band.
  • The trend is in transition: The long-term downtrend is intact, but the recent price action has established a potential base. A decisive close above $175 would signal a trend reversal.
  • Volatility remains elevated (ATR ~5.8), requiring wider stop-losses and smaller position sizes to manage risk.

Risks

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