Technical momentum diverges as mixed signals meet deepening losses

The long-term positive trend remains intact, with the immediate trading band set by resistance at $37.4 and support at $36.07.

The BBP’s positive value highlights intraday buyer strength and confirms the overbought condition. The Stochastic RSI is neutral, and the Awesome Oscillator backs near-term bullishness. The stock is currently near its intraday low after opening with an upside gap, with volatility at 5.05% as losses deepen following the open, creating a divergence between momentum signals and selling pressure.
