AI Summary

Buy NowMedium

RM remains in a Stage 2 advance anchored by a powerful Lockout Rally, with price now pulling back into the rising 9 EMA and 20 EMA support zone. The Lockout Rally override keeps short-term bias bullish despite the retracement, and cooling RSI and Options Score suggest reduced exhaustion risk. This pullback into rising EMAs offers a favorable buying opportunity. A decisive break below these EMAs on expanding volume would invalidate the bullish setup.
