In a Stage 2 uptrend, BFH remains structurally bullish with the long-term trend intact above the 200DMA, but recent consolidation has taken price back to the SMA50 and horizontal support zone near $104–$106. EMAs have flattened without clear sign of a rebound, so medium-term direction remains bullish but timing is neutral. Under the Free Cash Flow + Buybacks strategy, it’s prudent to defer entry and watch for pullback acceptance around the 50-day SMA.
