Technicals
The market is exhibiting a bullish trend alignment, with the current price trading above key short-term moving averages (9-day and 21-day EMAs). While the RSI is in neutral territory, its high percentile over the past year suggests strong historical performance. However, valuation metrics indicate potential overvaluation, with both P/E and P/B ratios trading significantly above their 6-month averages and at high percentiles. This suggests a divergence between the bullish technical signals and stretched valuation, which could pose a risk if the market sentiment shifts.
