AI Summary

Stalk
StalkMedium

NICE is in a Stage 2 advance marked by higher highs and higher lows, but a mid-July Bullish Exhaustion pattern and overbought RSI have driven a pullback into rising 9-EMA and 21-EMA. The medium-term advance remains intact under the Stage 2 framework, yet short-term momentum fatigue suggests waiting for pullbacks to be absorbed above those EMAs. The Free Cash Flow + Buybacks strategy favors structural pullback entries near supportive EMAs, so we defer execution until clear acceptance in that zone.
