Catalysts

  • Long-term trend is still up, as price holds above the steadily rising 200-day SMA ($91.14).
  • Short-term trend has deteriorated, with price below the declining 50-day SMA and both RSI and MACD in bearish territory.
  • The $89–$91 zone is critical — the 200-day SMA sits here, and the June 1 low ($89.03) marks the recent panic floor. A break below this zone would signal a more serious trend change.

Risks

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