Catalysts
- Long-term bullish structure remains intact — Verizon continues to trade well above its rising 200-day SMA, and the 12-month trajectory is positive (+15.8%).
- Short-term picture is bearish/corrective — price below the 50-day SMA, RSI sub-50, and recent gap-downs point to ongoing distribution from the May highs.
- Volatility has spiked — the ATR increase suggests wider stops are warranted for anyone managing a position.
Risks
- Event-driven repricing risk if expectations diverge from incoming evidence.
