Catalysts

  • Short-term momentum is very bullish, with MACD giving a fresh bullish crossover and RSI confirming strong buying, but the extreme speed of the rally and RSI >70 warrant caution for new entries.
  • Volatility has spiked – ATR is at a recent high, requiring careful risk management (wider stops, smaller position sizes).
  • The intermediate- and long-term trend remains down; the May rally has not yet reversed the 12-month downtrend. A break above $110–$115 would be needed to suggest a longer-term trend change.

Risks

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