Catalysts
- The long-term trend remains bullish. Price is comfortably above both the 50-day and 200-day SMAs, with the 50-day SMA continuing to rise (currently $173.30 and trending upward).
- The May correction was sharp but contained. A 10.5% peak-to-trough pullback is within normal corrections in a bull trend, and the subsequent recovery was rapid.
- Momentum is deteriorating beneath the surface. The declining MACD alongside a price recovery is a bearish divergence that warrants attention. The rally may be losing steam.
Risks
- Event-driven repricing risk if expectations diverge from incoming evidence.
