MACD (latest: -1.18, -2.55, 2.73) shows the DIF line rising and crossing above the DEA, a bullish signal.
RSI-6 at 78.2 indicates strong short-term momentum but is approaching overbought territory, while RSI-12 at 61.6 suggests room for further upside.
Key Price Levels
Immediate Pivot: $120.00 (evening session high). A close above could accelerate gains.

Forward P/E of 9.3x is significantly below its historical average of 14.67x and the lower bound of its standard deviation (9.37x), suggesting the stock is undervalued relative to its own history.
