The price is now above the upper limit of the Bollinger Bands set at €156.53, indicating an overbought condition. The gap with the 50-day moving average, at €143.80, is nearly 10%, and the 200-day moving average at €136.58 is well below the current price. The RSI at 64 remains below the overheating zone, not crossing the threshold of 70. The previous resistance at €155.70, which was the recent high, gave way right at the opening. The stock had fallen to €148 on April 28th, before rallying for six sessions to this new record. The next significant event for shareholders is the quarterly publication on Thursday morning.
