A number of technical warning signs of momentum exhaustion are emerging. The MACD-V indicator is starting to roll over from a relatively high level. The 14 day relative strength index is at 66.5%, having broken its upward trendline.  

The 61.8% Fibonacci upside projection target based on the 243.42 to 288.62 range traded between 3rd December 2025 and the 21st Jan 2026 comes in at $316.55 which is close to the recent high of $316.94.
