TECHNICAL RATING
TECHNICAL SCORE
83 / 100
Summary
Price sits above the key moving averages: about 3.7% above the 20-day, 4.1% above the 50-day and 10.1% above the 200-day, with a 50/200-day Golden cross in place. Momentum is supportive: MACD is above its signal line (MACD 17.81 vs signal 10.63) and RSI at 63.8 is in the constructive range, so momentum confirms the up-trend rather than contradicting it. The stock is trading inside the Bollinger bands rather than breaking out, and recent volume is below its 20-day average, which softens conviction behind the move. The picture would change materially on a decisive band breakout with rising volume or a sustained loss of the 20-day moving average.

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.
