Bollinger Bands Inside the bands — range-bound

Bollinger Bands (20, 2): price is at $196.75, upper $236.41, middle $203.34, lower $170.27. Price is inside the bands — range-bound.

RSI (14) Below 50

RSI(14) is 46.6. 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) Bearish — momentum slowing

MACD (12, 26, 9): line $-9.90, signal $-9.80, histogram -0.101.

The fast line has crossed below the signal line and the histogram is negative. Price may still be rising overall, but momentum is weakening — often seen before a correction, a sideways consolidation, or a final push higher.

Volume Analysis Balanced volume

Up-day and down-day volume are roughly even (ratio 0.90) 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 ($196.75) is +2.1% above the anchored VWAP ($192.78). 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 $196.75. Resistance above: $216.79, $219.99, $223.40. Support below: $174.60, $169.81.

Watch $216.79 as the first upside level to clear, and $174.60 as the first downside level to hold. A clean break of either often determines the next leg.
