Executive Summary

Horizontal Support and Resistance Levels (drawn) Notes:

  • Horizontal lines extend 100 days forward from the level’s first touch.

  • Color-coding and labels are used for quick reference.

  • Support 1

    • Price: 20.00
    • Start (p1): 2025-08-14 00:00:00-04:00
    • End (p2): 2025-11-22 00:00:00-04:00
    • Color: Green (#00AA00)
    • Rationale: Visible local support around the 20s region in late Aug; multiple tests around 20–21 previously supported the bounce.

  • Support 2

    • Price: 23.50
    • Start (p1): 2025-08-20 00:00:00-04:00
    • End (p2): 2025-12-28 00:00:00-04:00
    • Color: Green (darker) (#228B22)
    • Rationale: Recurrent congestion around 23.5–24 in late Aug–Sept; acts as a secondary floor if price tests 20.

  • Resistance 1

    • Price: 26.00
    • Start (p1): 2025-09-15 00:00:00-04:00
    • End (p2): 2026-01-23 00:00:00-04:00
    • Color: Orange (#FF8C00)
    • Rationale: Prior minor highs in the 26 area with repeated tests in Sep; proximity to recent consolidation suggests a near-term hurdle.

    • Start (p1): 2025-09-18 00:00:00-04:00
    • End (p2): 2026-02-25 00:00:00-04:00
    • Color: Blue (#0000FF)
    • Rationale: Recent intraday/top-side print near 30.6; tests of the upper end of the current range.

Technical Analysis

  1. Market structure and trend
  • Short-to-medium term: The price action over the last 60 days shows a bullish tilt, with higher highs visible as price climbs from mid-August into late September and tests toward 30+.
  • Mid-term trend condition: Price is trading well above MA(50) (~23.0) and MA(200) (~21.7). MA(50) has been rising with the recent move, supporting a constructive tilt.
  • Momentum backdrop: MACD (12,26,9) has turned positive and widened in recent sessions (MACD around 1.0–1.2 vs. Signal ~0.7–0.8). Histogram shows consistent positive rhythm.
  • Relative strength: RSI(14) has moved into the upper decile (recently ~75–78), indicating overbought risk and potential for a pullback or consolidation after the run.
  1. Moving averages
  • MA(50) vs MA(200): Price remains decisively above both MAs; no MA crossovers in the near term evidence, which reinforces a bullish backdrop but with overbought cautions as momentum holds.
  • Interpretation: The structure supports a continuation scare-free only if price can absorb the near-term overbought condition and stay above key resistances.
  1. Momentum indicators
  • RSI(14): Elevated in the 75–78 zone, signaling overbought conditions. While not a sell signal by itself, it raises the likelihood of a pause or shallow pullback in the near term.
  • MACD(12,26,9): Positive and expanding, suggesting continued upside momentum, though the rate of gain may ease if price encounters resistance around 30–31.
  1. Key levels and rationale
  • Supports:
    • 20.00: Primary floor in the current environment; acts as a larger pullback target if the rally loses steam.
    • 23.50: Secondary support with prior congestion in the 23–24 zone; important to hold to keep the bullish tilt intact.
  • Resistances:
    • 26.00: Near-term hurdle; a break here would open likely tests toward the higher end of the range.
    • 30.60: Major resistance near the latest apex; a breakout above would place focus on 32.38 (52W high) and beyond.
  • 52-Week High/Low references provide longer-term context and potential zones for breakout expectations or downside limits.
  1. Scenarios and invalidation levels

  • Bullish scenario (continuation)

    • Trigger: Break above 30.60 with confirming strong volume.
    • Target(s): Next psychological/structural focus near 32.38 (52W High) and potentially beyond toward the prior range highs.
    • Invalidation/warning: If price closes back under 28.00 on a daily basis, risk of a near-term pullback increases; a sustained close back below 26.00 would suggest a shift to range-trading behavior.

  • Bearish scenario (pause or pullback)

    • Trigger: Break below 23.50 with broadened selling pressure and high volume.
    • Target(s): Revisit the 20.00 area as a robust support, with risks of testing the lower trend environment.
    • Invalidation: Quick reclaim above 25.50–26.00 would reestablish the bullish tilt and re-activate the 26.00 resistance hurdle.
  1. Observations with reference to the provided series
  • Price is firmly above MA(50) and MA(200) and has spun a bullish short-term setup, but RSI indicates overbought, caution on immediate downside risk.
  • MACD has shown positive momentum with increasing histogram, aligning with the breakout potential toward the 30.6 zone.
  • The 52-week high around 32.38 remains the upper bound to watch for continuation, while the 52-week low near 17.67 anchors the long-term downside risk.

Bottom line

  • The current structure favors upside continuation into the 30.6 resistance, with a high-probability test of the 32.38 area if momentum persists. However, overbought RSI and proximity to major resistance warrant careful risk management and a disciplined approach to entries/exits.
  • Maintain near-term vigilance for a pullback toward 23.5–20 as a healthy correction if price cannot sustain above 30.6 on expanded volume.

Notes on the drawn lines (for chart viewers)

  • Support 1 (20.00) and Support 2 (23.50) are anchored to recent price floors and congestion zones.
  • Resistance 1 (26.00) and Resistance 2 (30.60) anchor to recent highs and intraday tests in Sep.
  • 52-Week High (32.38) and 52-Week Low (17.67) provide longer-term reference frames.
