AI Summary

Stalk
StalkMedium

MG remains in a clear Stage 2 uptrend supported by a long‐term secular advance and accelerating parabola continuation. However, the latest rally has extended well above the 9/21/50 EMAs into extreme overbought territory, increasing the risk of a near‐term pullback. With mean‐reversion eligibility absent, the prudent approach is to stalk for a corrective retracement into rising EMAs or recent support zones before committing new capital.
