Bull case. MACD is above its signal line — momentum is building. In 24 past periods like today (Falling inflation + Steady Fed), this stock was higher 90d later 62% of the time (median +4.6%). Historically favorable.
Bear case. Price is below its 200-day average — long-term trend is down. Trading below the 50-day average — medium-term momentum is weak.
