AI Summary

KEY remains in a Stage 1 base with a Bullish Pivot Point mean-reversion signal and OS context. The long-term trend is up, and the medium-term bias is bullish under mean-reversion eligibility, but short-term EMAs remain negative and price is consolidating between the rising 200-day SMA and the 9/20 EMAs. We will look to engage on a confirmed pullback holding near the 200-day SMA region with acceptance above the short EMAs (~21.8–22.0 area). A decisive close below the 200-day SMA with follow-through would invalidate this setup.
