Bollinger Bands (20, 2): price is at $233.43, upper $259.56, middle $224.01, lower $188.47. Price is inside the bands — range-bound.

Bandwidth is 31.7% of price — expanded (high volatility). Width contraction often precedes a directional breakout; expansion confirms one underway.

RSI (14) Overbought

RSI(14) is 70.9. Strong but not yet extreme — approaching the 80 line.

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

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

Volume Analysis Distribution — sellers in control

Down-day volume exceeds up-day volume (ratio 0.69). Price falls on heavier volume than it rises on — sellers are more aggressive than buyers.

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 on hold

The A/D line slope is flat and the line is well off highs — institutions are neither aggressively accumulating nor distributing.

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 ($233.43) is -6.2% below the anchored VWAP ($248.94). 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

Watch $238.96 as the first upside level to clear, and $223.95 as the first downside level to hold. A clean break of either often determines the next leg.
