Catalysts

  • Long-term trend remains bullish but short-term momentum has decisively shifted bearish.
  • RSI falling below 50 after being overbought implies the risk of further downside, potentially testing the Bollinger lower band (~$68).
  • MACD bearish crossover (histogram negative) is a reliable near-term sell signal; confirmed on 29 May.

Risks

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