Catalysts

  • Long-term trend remains intact. The 200-day SMA continues to rise and sits well below current price, a structural positive.
  • Short-term trend has turned negative. The breach of the 50-day SMA and the declining 50-day SMA itself signal a corrective phase since late April.
  • Momentum is improving from deeply bearish levels. The MACD is converging toward a potential bullish crossover, and the RSI has lifted from near-oversold.

Risks

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