Catalysts

  • Long-term trend stays bullish — price well above the rising 200-day SMA — but the short-term technical picture has decisively turned bearish.
  • Momentum has flipped negative (MACD < 0) and the RSI is approaching oversold; traders should watch for a MACD bottom or RSI < 30 as potential reversal catalysts.
  • Price testing the lower Bollinger band (~$129) creates the setup for a potential mean-reversion bounce, but this is not a guaranteed signal.

Risks

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