Dole PLC

DOLE remains in a Stage 3 distribution phase with bearish medium-term structure despite a secular uptrend. Price has recently broken above short EMAs but is meeting resistance at the flattening 50- and declining 200-day moving averages. The medium-term directional bias is bearish, and execution should be deferred, trimming into rallies at the overhead MA zone and recent highs. A sustained breakout above the 50/200 DMA region would invalidate this bearish posture.
