Catalysts

  • Long-term bullish trend is still alive — the 200-day SMA is rising and the golden cross structure is intact. The stock is up ~82% over the past year.
  • Short-term bearish signals are accumulating — price below the 50-day SMA, MACD in negative territory and widening, RSI below 50.
  • The $335–$340 zone is critical support — this area (the June 26 low and the rising 200-day SMA level) is the last line of defense for the uptrend. A breakdown below $335 would breach the long-term moving average and signal a deeper correction.

Risks

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