The short answer

As of the Nov 3, 2026 close, QuantivFlow's Trend algo rates SO BUY on the short-term (daily) horizon, a stance it has held since Oct 22, 2026 at $93.82. The mid-term (weekly) and long-term (monthly) horizons read EXIT and BUY. The Rebound algo's last dip trade closed on Aug 13, 2026 at $92.03; it holds no dip position now. The Patterns algo sees a rising wedge on the monthly chart that broke down on Aug 31, 2026 at $93.74, with a measured target about 39% lower. The daily RSI (14) is 64, and the price sits 6.6% above the 50-day average and 2.4% above the 200-day.

Three algos, three opinions is normal: Trend follows the established direction, Rebound buys sharp dips inside it, Patterns reads the chart shape. Not investment advice.

What Trend meansA trend-following algo. BUY while an uptrend holds on that horizon, EXIT when it breaks. Long only, judged on daily, weekly and monthly candles.
What Rebound meansA dip-buying algo. BUY after a sharp short-term drop in an otherwise healthy stock, EXIT once price closes back above its 12-day average. Short term and Mid term profiles.
What Patterns meansA chart-shape detector. Finds wedges, double tops and bottoms, cup and handle and more, marks the breakout or breakdown and measures the textbook price target. Full method
