Catalysts

  • Long-term uptrend remains healthy — the 50/200 SMA bull cross is intact and both averages are rising.
  • Near-term momentum has deteriorated — RSI below 50 and a fresh MACD bearish crossover signal caution over the coming days to weeks.
  • Price below 50-SMA for the first time since October 2025 — this is a tactical warning for the prevailing trend.

Risks

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