CLBK remains in a healthy Stage 2 advance within a long-term uptrend, underpinned by a momentum breakout above prior resistance. However, price is extended above rising short-term EMAs and extreme overbought readings on RSI and Options Score suggest deferring execution. We will stalk for pullbacks into the 9 EMA / 20 EMA zone or down toward the 50 DMA to align entries with the intact medium-term bullish structure.
