TECHNICAL RATING
TECHNICAL SCORE
89 / 100
Summary
Price sits well above the key moving averages: about 12.6% above the 20-day (306.65), 17.5% above the 50-day (293.94), and roughly 58.3% above the 200-day (218.11), with a Golden cross on the longer-term averages. Momentum is confirming that advance: MACD is above its signal line (12.72 vs 8.48) and RSI(14) is 73.2, so momentum and trend are aligned even as RSI registers in overbought territory. The stock has closed above the upper Bollinger band, indicating a volatility expansion, but recent volume is below its 20-day average, which reduces conviction behind the move. Watch for a decisive close back inside the bands or a MACD signal-line crossover to alter this picture.

Rating ruleFormula: the Technical Score is a weighted composite of eight inputs. Trend inputs — price vs. the 20-day (10%), 50-day (15%), and 200-day (25%) moving averages, and the 50/200 Golden or Death cross state (10%) — carry roughly 60% of the weight. Momentum inputs — MACD (12/26/9) vs. its signal line (15%) and RSI (14) state (10%) — carry 25%. Bollinger-band position (5%) and volume vs. the 20-day average (10%) round out the remainder. Each input contributes +1, 0, or -1, weights are re-normalized when a component is unavailable, and the weighted sum is thresholded at +/-0.45 to Bullish, Neutral, or Bearish.
