PM is in a Stage 2 advancing regime with a recent breakout above horizontal resistance confirmed by strong volume. However, price is extended well above rising EMAs and shows extreme overbought conditions on the Options Score and RSI, making immediate entry unfavorable. Execution favors stalking pullbacks into the 9 and 21 EMA confluence or retest of the prior resistance zone near 182–184. Primary risk remains a failure to hold these support areas, which would signal exhaustion of the advance.
