Rich Paragraphs
  1. 8-week price move: 4.74%. Weekly return volatility: 0.92%. Close is 0.57% above the prior-window 8-week high. and 4.74% above the prior-window 8-week low. Volume trend: falling. Latest week’s volume is -0.81σ from its 8-week average. Price/volume correlation (returns vs volume): 0.75. Price/volume correlation (returns vs volume change): -0.17. 26-week move: 21.50%. 52-week move: 18.24%. Price sits 0.29% above its medium-term baseline, and the distance is widening. Moving-average stack is constructive (short above intermediate above long).
  2. How to read this — Price slope is upward, indicating persistent buying over the window. Low weekly volatility favours steadier follow-through. Volume trend diverges from price — watch for fatigue or rotation. Returns are positively correlated with volume — strength tends to arrive on higher activity. Constructive MA stack supports the up-drift; pullbacks may find support at the 8–13 week region. Price holds above key averages, indicating constructive participation.
  3. Up-slope supports buying interest; pullbacks may be contained if activity stays firm. Because liquidity isn’t confirming, prefer evidence of fresh demand before chasing moves.
