Tactical UW · 12M UW
Horizon
Short to medium term
Confidence
Low
Invalidation
Thesis weakens if catalysts slip or risk markers breach stated levels.
Bias
UNDERWEIGHT
Catalysts
- Bullish short-term momentum is intact — MACD is positive and rising, RSI is neutral (room to run), and price is above both the 50- and 200-day SMAs.
- But structural trend is not yet bullish — the 50-day SMA still < 200-day SMA (death cross), and both MAs are declining. This is a recovery rally within a downtrend, not a new uptrend, until proven otherwise.
- Key support levels: $605 (50-day SMA), $600 (psychological round number), and $563–$577 (late June consolidation zone). A break below $600 would weaken the recovery case significantly.
Risks
- Event-driven repricing risk if expectations diverge from incoming evidence.
