The stock trades 4.5% above its 20-day simple moving average and sits about 1% above both the 50-day and 100-day simple moving averages. That alignment suggests the near-term trend is stabilizing even though the longer-term picture is still recovering. The main obstacle remains the 200-day simple moving average at $81.77, with the stock still roughly 9% below that longer-term trend marker.Momentum is leaning constructive. MACD is above its signal line and the histogram is positive, which indicates that downside pressure has eased and follow through is improving compared with the previous decline. MACD essentially compares faster and slower trend momentum, and when it rises above the signal line it often signals that buyers are beginning to regain influence even if the broader trend has not fully turned.
