Catalysts
- Primary trend remains bullish. Price is above both the 50- and 200-day SMAs, and the golden cross is intact. The December-to-May rally more than doubled the pace of the 200-day moving average ascent.
- The May–June correction looks like a healthy pullback within an uptrend, not a trend reversal. The bounce off the $94 area and recovery back above $100 supports this view.
- Momentum is at a pivotal juncture. RSI has reclaimed neutral territory, and MACD is about to potentially cross positive. If a bullish MACD crossover occurs in the coming days, it would confirm the uptrend's resumption.
Risks
- Event-driven repricing risk if expectations diverge from incoming evidence.
