Catalysts
- Bearish short‑term bias — COST broke below its 20‑day SMA and VWMA, with momentum decisively bearish.
- Overbought-to-oversold swing — The RSI moved from 75 to 34 in 10 trading days, a dramatic shift that historically often precedes a mean‑reversion bounce, but the trend is currently against that.
- Rising volatility — ATR expanded 36% over the month, increasing the risk of large gap moves; position sizing should account for this.
Risks
- Event-driven repricing risk if expectations diverge from incoming evidence.
