The 20-day SMA above the 50-day SMA keeps the near-term trend constructive, and the golden cross in May (50-day SMA above the 200-day SMA) continues to support the bigger-picture bullish structure.The main technical tension is proximity to the top of the 52-week range, which can invite profit-taking and "sell-the-rip" behavior if price stalls. A prior swing high in July and a swing low in June frame the most recent range, and the July break below support is a reminder that volatility can pick up quickly near major inflection zones.
