Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $52.10 and $51.35. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, May 22, 2026, and so far it has risen 5.80%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).
