AI Summary

ACCO has just broken out above its recent range with a momentum breakout and high volume, confirming medium-term strength in Stage 2; however, price is extended above rising EMAs and overbought, so timing favors waiting for a pullback into support (9/21/50 EMA region). Long-term sideways trend caps structural polarity. Stage transition risk remains low.
