BUY

Catalysts

  • Strong uptrend intact — Price, 50-day SMA, and 200-day SMA are stacked bullishly with no signs of trend exhaustion.
  • Momentum is accelerating, not fading — RSI at 63 and MACD rising rapidly suggest the bull move has room to run before entering overbought territory.
  • Near-term caution: price at the upper Bollinger Band (~$193) — A brief consolidation or minor pullback toward the middle band (~$182) would be healthy and consistent with trend continuation.

Risks

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