Catalysts
- Long-term uptrend remains intact — price is above the 200-day SMA and the golden cross structure (50 > 200) is holding. The trend since June 2025 has been decisively higher.
- Near-term correction is underway — the stock has pulled back ~6% from its April highs and is trading below its 50-day SMA, indicating short-term weakness.

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