Catalysts
- Primary trend remains bullish: MO's price is above both the 50-day and 200-day SMAs, with the shorter-term average well above the longer-term — a textbook positive alignment.
- Golden cross is mature and widening: The 50/200 SMA spread is approximately $6 and expanding, confirming trend strength.
- RSI is neutral after a bounce: At 52.6, the RSI has recovered from a near-oversold reading, suggesting short-term downside momentum has faded but upside conviction is not yet strong.
Risks
- Event-driven repricing risk if expectations diverge from incoming evidence.
