AI Summary

The stock remains in a secular uptrend but is undergoing a healthy pullback into the 200 DMA. Medium-term structure remains bullish (Stage 2 re-accumulation), so we are looking to buy on signs of structural repair rather than chasing current weakness. Execution should be deferred, stalking for acceptance near the 200 DMA or a clear retest and hold above the 9/21 EMAs. Long-term uptrend intact, so stakes remain on the long side once the repair is confirmed.
