CNOB remains in a Stage 2 advancing uptrend, reinforced by a recent momentum breakout above key resistance. The ensuing pullback into the rising 9 EMA and 21 EMA zone offers a favorable entry within the medium-term bullish structure. Although overbought conditions are present, no exhaustion is evident, supporting continued upside. Primary risk lies in a failure to hold the EMAs or a break below the 50 DMA, which would invalidate this bullish bias.
