Bullish structure holds as price meets resistance near weekly high

Shares of Motorola Solutions are testing resistance at the weekly high of $497.86 without clearing it. The daily structure remains bullish as price holds above the MA-20, MA-50, and MA-200. With an RSI at 68.5 nearing overbought conditions, the recent sustained upward move could be starting to run into headwinds as the advance looks stretched.

Upside odds stand strong as traders watch a close above $497.86

Traders should watch whether price can close above $497.86 to gauge if buyers are willing to push through resistance. Currently, price is sitting just below this weekly high, showing that this area is being tested but not yet overcome. From here, the upside probability over the next five trading days is more than 80%, with downside probability less than 20%, and an expected trading range of $488.98 to $503.49. A close above $497.86 would confirm acceptance by buyers, while a drop below $481.64 would indicate the move is being faded. On the weekly chart the longer-term picture stays firmly constructive.
