Opportunity signals

  • Price is above the Trend Line, keeping the weekly tape constructive.
  • Market Dynamics is positive on the latest completed week.

Risk signals

  • Trend Signal is inactive, so price action has not confirmed a constructive regime.
  • Price is below Fair Value, so the market is still discounting the latest tape.
  • The share remains more than 20% below its 52-week high.

Watch next

  • Trend Line remains the key weekly regime level.
  • Market Dynamics is the pressure gauge to monitor for confirmation or fade.
  • A volume ratio above 1.5x would show stronger participation in the next move.
