Despite sustained Stage 2 advancement and clear higher highs and higher lows, the stock is currently extended above its EMAs and in extreme overbought territory, making immediate execution unfavorable. We remain positive on the medium-term uptrend but choose to wait for a pullback into rising EMAs—ideally the 9EMA/21EMA confluence—before engaging. Continued strength above the 50DMA and healthy volume confirms the bullish bias, but patience is warranted to avoid chasing momentum.
