The stock rallied sharply over the past three months, with a 60-period return of +75.26%, reaching a 52-week high at 157.00 before pulling back. Daily RSI14 at 61.16 remains in constructive territory, while the daily MACD line at 3.64 sits below the signal line at 4.25 with a slightly negative histogram of -0.60, indicating momentum is cooling after the recent advance.

Key support is at 143.02 (SMA20) and 129.02 (20-day low), with deeper support at 77.45 (60-day low). Resistance is at 157.00 (20-day and 52-week high). A break above 157.00 would signal renewed strength, while a sustained move below 129.02 would point to a deeper pullback.

Daily (August 5, 2026)

Trend
Bullish. Price at 147.04 is above SMA20 (143.02), SMA50 (130.88), and SMA200 (94.84). All key moving averages are in bullish alignment with SMA20 above SMA50 above SMA200. Price is trading about 6% below the recent 52-week high at 157.00 but remains above the rising SMA20, keeping the daily uptrend structure intact.
Momentum
Mixed to bullish. RSI14 at 61.16 is above the 50 midline in constructive territory and below the 70 overbought threshold. The MACD line at 3.64 sits slightly below the signal line at 4.25 with a small negative histogram of -0.60, reflecting cooling momentum after the strong run toward the 52-week high.
Volatility
Elevated. ATR14 at 6.98 (4.74% of price) reflects wide daily swings consistent with the sharp recent advance. Bollinger Bands (131.82 to 154.21) show price in the upper half of the band range, and the recent 20-day range from 129.02 to 157.00 highlights the wide daily swings.
Volume
Below average. Latest volume of 1,796,900 is 65.2% of the 20-period average (2,757,810), indicating reduced participation on the latest completed bar.

Assessment

The daily chart remains bullish with price above all key moving averages and the longer-term uptrend intact, but near-term momentum has cooled. The stock surged more than 75% over the past 60 sessions to a 52-week high at 157.00 before pulling back, and the slightly negative daily MACD histogram suggests consolidation near the highs. As long as price holds above SMA20 at 143.02 and the 20-day low at 129.02, the uptrend remains intact. A reclaim of 157.00 would signal renewed upside, while a break below 129.02 would shift the near-term bias lower.

Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)

Trend
Bullish and strong. Price at 141.93 is well above SMA20 (104.39), SMA50 (93.88), and SMA200 (86.40). All weekly SMAs are in bullish alignment with upward slopes, confirming a powerful multi-week recovery. The 20-week return of +79.30% reflects the sharp rebound from the 62.66 low.
Momentum
Bullish but extended. RSI14 at 68.29 is approaching the 70 overbought threshold, suggesting the move is maturing. The MACD line at 15.57 is well above the signal line at 10.68 with a positive histogram of 4.89, confirming strong weekly momentum.
Volatility
High. ATR14 at 13.68 (9.64% of price) reflects wide weekly ranges. Bollinger Bands (47.72 to 161.07) are exceptionally wide, with price trading in the upper portion of the band, consistent with the strong rally.
Volume
Below average. Weekly volume of 12,088,300 is 67.4% of the 20-week average (17,942,945), indicating participation below recent norms during the advance.

Assessment

The weekly chart is strongly bullish with price above all key moving averages and a powerful momentum profile. The 252-period weekly return of -40.39% shows price remains below the levels seen roughly five years ago despite the strong recent recovery, and the 52-week position at 84.03% reflects a large advance from the lows. Weekly RSI at 68.29 is approaching overbought, so some consolidation would be normal. The trend stays bullish as long as price holds above SMA20 at 104.39 on a weekly closing basis.
