Catalysts
- Uptrend intact over 12 months, but the pace has moderated in recent weeks after touching the upper Bollinger Band.
- Short-term momentum is neutral — RSI near 50 gives no strong directional bias; the market may be pausing after the June 1–16 recovery rally.
- Bollinger Band narrowing suggests a volatility breakout may be approaching; current price sitting at the middle band is a decision point.
Risks
- Event-driven repricing risk if expectations diverge from incoming evidence.
