Bias

OVERWEIGHT

Catalysts

  • Trend is structurally bullish — price above both key SMAs, both SMAs sloping upward, and the 50-day converging toward a potential golden cross with the 200-day.
  • Short-term momentum is cooling — RSI pulling back from the mid-60s and MACD declining from its recent peak suggest the pace of the rally is slowing, though no reversal signal has triggered.
  • Resistance is forming near $89–$90, as evidenced by the July 17 high of $89.79 and the Bollinger upper band at $89.06. A clean break above $90 would be a significant bullish development.

Risks

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