Price is -10.4% from the 6-month high and +13.3% from the low. Annualised volatility (30-day) is ~19%.

Bollinger Bands Inside the bands — range-bound

Bollinger Bands (20, 2): price is at $278.28, upper $289.40, middle $278.60, lower $267.80. Price is inside the bands — range-bound.

Bandwidth is 7.8% of price — moderate. Width contraction often precedes a directional breakout; expansion confirms one underway.

RSI (14) Below 50

RSI(14) is 46.5. Momentum has faded; the bullish case needs rebuilding.

Generally: above 70 = overheated, above 50 = bullish trend, below 50 = bearish trend, below 30 = oversold.

MACD (12, 26, 9) Bullish — fast line above signal

MACD (12, 26, 9): line $-4.54, signal $-5.08, histogram +0.538.

The fast line is above the signal line and the histogram is positive — a bullish configuration. Momentum is expanding.

Volume Analysis Balanced volume

Up-day and down-day volume are roughly even (ratio 0.78) 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 ($278.28) is +0.4% above the anchored VWAP ($277.20). 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 / 2 support levels

Current price $278.28. Resistance above: $285.64, $289.02, $292.58. Support below: $272.50, $267.80.

Watch $285.64 as the first upside level to clear, and $272.50 as the first downside level to hold. A clean break of either often determines the next leg.
