Bollinger Bands (20, 2): price is at $482.58, upper $545.22, middle $508.87, lower $472.52. Price is near the lower band — weakness.

RSI (14) Weakening

RSI(14) is 21.1. Nearing the 30 oversold line.

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 $-15.24, signal $-12.28, histogram -2.965.

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 0.86) 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 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 ($482.58) is -12.0% below the anchored VWAP ($548.10). 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 / 1 support levels

Current price $482.58. Resistance above: $523.01, $529.00, $536.62. Support below: $470.06.

Watch $523.01 as the first upside level to clear, and $470.06 as the first downside level to hold. A clean break of either often determines the next leg.
