RSI(6) jumped to 61.79 from 47.92, exiting the neutral zone with strong momentum. KDJ shows K(62.91) crossing above D(53.93) — a fresh bullish crossover.

Weekly Outlook: Expect consolidation between $162–$166 while bulls attempt to establish higher lows. A decisive close above $164.72 opens the path toward $169–$170, matching analyst consensus. Failure to hold $160.66 could trigger a pullback toward $156–$158, where the 50-day support cluster resides.
