AI Summary

StalkMedium

CCO remains in a Stage 2 advance within a long-term uptrend, consolidating under near-term resistance around the 50-day SMA. The active Bearish Exhaustion pattern signals potential stabilization and a bottoming attempt. Short-term timing is neutral, favoring deferred execution. We recommend stalking for pullbacks into structural support zones near the rising 200-day SMA and the August pivot to participate in the next up-leg, while a decisive break below the 200-day SMA would invalidate the bullish outlook.
