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

Volume Analysis Balanced volume

Up-day and down-day volume are roughly even (ratio 1.02) 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 accumulating

The Accumulation/Distribution line is rising and sitting well off highs. Institutions are not aggressively distributing — large funds still appear net long.

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 Below anchored VWAP — period buyers underwater

Price ($944.82) is -3.7% below the anchored VWAP ($980.69). Period buyers are underwater — overhead supply tends to cap rallies.

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 $944.82. Resistance above: $950.86, $964.33, $987.55. Support below: $933.76, $916.76, $907.21.

Watch $950.86 as the first upside level to clear, and $933.76 as the first downside level to hold. A clean break of either often determines the next leg.
