Catalysts

  • Long-term trend is bullish — SO has been in a steady uptrend over the past 12 months, with price well above the rising 200-day SMA.
  • June 2026 recovery was sharp but may be losing steam — RSI has dropped from near-overbought (64.7) back to neutral (54.2), and MACD has plateaued.
  • The declining 50-day SMA is a caution flag — even after the $89→$97 rally, the medium-term average continues to point lower, suggesting the uptrend's slope is moderating.

Risks

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