OVERWEIGHT

Catalysts

  • Long-term uptrend intact — price is $43 above the 200-day SMA, and the annual trajectory remains higher.
  • Short-term momentum has broken — the RSI falling below 50 and the MACD crashing from 7.8 to 0.9 in two weeks are textbook signs of a momentum reversal.

Risks

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