MA remains in a Stage 2 advancing within a long-term uptrend. The price is steepening in an accelerating parabola pattern but is currently extreme overbought and extended above rising EMAs. With no Lockout Rally override active, immediate participation is inadvisable—pullbacks into the confluence of the rising 9 EMA and 21 EMA around the mid-530s to low-540s represent structurally appropriate entry zones. We will defer and stalk those support levels while watching for confirmation.
