Volume Analysis Balanced volume

Up-day and down-day volume are roughly even (ratio 1.30) over the recent 19 sessions — no strong conviction either way.

Rule of thumb: price up on high volume = accumulation; price down on high volume = distribution. Low-volume pullbacks after a rally are usually profit-taking, not panic.

Smart Money (A/D) Smart money distributing

The A/D line is falling and well off highs. If smart money were exiting you would expect lower highs and volume spikes on down days — distribution pressure is building.

A/D combines price position within the day's range with volume: rising = net buying pressure, falling = net selling pressure. It often leads price at turning points.

Anchored VWAP Above anchored VWAP — period buyers in profit

Price ($278.30) is +4.2% above the anchored VWAP ($267.06). Buyers who entered at the period's volume-weighted average are in profit and less likely to panic-sell.

Anchored VWAP is the volume-weighted average from the start of the scraped series — a proxy for the period's average institutional cost basis.

Key Levels 3 resistance / 3 support levels

Current price $278.30. Resistance above: $281.62, $285.58, $289.25. Support below: $275.78, $272.65, $268.13.

Watch $281.62 as the first upside level to clear, and $275.78 as the first downside level to hold. A clean break of either often determines the next leg.
