Columbia Financial Inc

CLBK is in a Stage 2 advance within a long-term uptrend, highlighted by a recent momentum breakout above prior resistance. However, the stock is now extended above rising short-term EMAs with extreme overbought readings on RSI and Options Score, making immediate entry unfavorable. We will stalk for pullbacks into the rising 9 EMA/20 EMA zone or toward the 50 DMA to align entries with the intact medium-term bullish structure.
