Catalysts

  • Short-term rally from mid-May lows was powerful but is now correcting. The move from ~$85 to $135.86 (+50%) in ~3 weeks was accompanied by extraordinary volume, suggesting catalyst-driven buying (likely earnings or product news). The subsequent −17% pullback may be profit-taking.
  • The long-term trend remains bearish. Price is below a declining 200-day SMA, and the death cross (50-SMA < 200-SMA) is still in effect. A sustained move above $140 (200-SMA) would be needed to signal a structural shift.
  • Momentum is cooling from overbought to neutral. MACD is still positive but declining; RSI has fallen from 78 to 56. This is not yet a sell signal but warrants caution for new long entries.

Risks

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