TECHNICAL RATING
TECHNICAL SCORE
64 / 100
Summary
Price sits about 1.0% below its 20-day moving average, roughly 2.8% above the 50-day, and 43.7% above the 200-day after a Golden cross earlier this cycle. Momentum is softer: MACD is below its signal line while RSI(14) is 52.3 and drifting higher, so momentum is not currently confirming the shorter-term price position. The stock remains inside the Bollinger bands and volume is running above its 20-day average, which gives conviction to recent moves but does not signal a breakout. The picture would change if MACD turns back above its signal or price decisively clears the 20-day with follow-through volume; conversely a break below the 50-day would flip the setup lower.

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.
