Catalysts
- Long-term structure is unquestionably bullish — the 50/200 SMA spread of +$131 and the rising trajectory of both moving averages leave no doubt about the primary trend.
- Short-term momentum deteriorated sharply in the second half of July, with RSI dropping from 69 to 50 and MACD compressing by ~60% from its June high.
- The $1,030 level (50-day SMA) is the key support to watch; a decisive break below it would violate the intermediate trend and open the door to the $1,000 psychological zone.
Risks
- Event-driven repricing risk if expectations diverge from incoming evidence.
