$42.27 lo$68.57 hi
2.2% below 52W high, pullback range
How far this stock is from its 52-week high. A pullback of 3–20% while Stage 2 structure holds is typically a better entry than chasing near the high.
Stage Maturity

Week 28, mature
How long this stock has been in Stage 2. The sweet spot is mid-run: long enough to prove the structure holds, not so long that it's extended. Very fresh moves (weeks 1–4) often need more time to confirm.

200 DMA: $56.05 · rising
Long-term trend anchor. When the stock and the S&P 500 are both above their 200-day averages, the backdrop supports continuation.

Low vol (0.5–1x) on pullbacks = resting, not being sold. High vol on breakouts = commitment. Volume spike on down days is a warning sign.
