Short to medium term

Invalidation

Bias

OVERWEIGHT

Catalysts

  • Structural downtrend intact: Price remains ~19% below the 200-day SMA, which is still declining. This is not a trend that has reversed — it has merely paused.
  • The June low ($89.52) may be a significant floor, but there is no technical evidence yet that it is a confirmed bottom. The bounce failed to reclaim the 200-SMA.
  • Momentum has stalled: The RSI has returned to neutral 50 after the bounce, and the MACD is rolling over. Without a fresh catalyst, the recovery attempt looks tentative.

Risks

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