Price is -8.2% from the 6-month high and +58.2% from the low. Annualised volatility (30-day) is ~35%.

Bollinger Bands Inside the bands — range-bound

Bollinger Bands (20, 2): price is at $259.45, upper $270.49, middle $247.02, lower $223.54. Price is inside the bands — range-bound.

Bandwidth is 19.0% of price — expanded (high volatility). Width contraction often precedes a directional breakout; expansion confirms one underway.

RSI (14) Overbought

RSI(14) is 71.0. Strong but not yet extreme — approaching the 80 line.

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 $5.83, signal $3.64, histogram +2.191.

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 0.98) 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 Above anchored VWAP — period buyers in profit

Price ($259.45) is +17.4% above the anchored VWAP ($221.08). 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 / 3 support levels

Current price $259.45. Resistance above: $265.55, $270.49, $273.36. Support below: $250.92, $245.12, $239.52.

Watch $265.55 as the first upside level to clear, and $250.92 as the first downside level to hold. A clean break of either often determines the next leg.
