Recent Cost Distribution Last updated: 2026-03-25 (ET)

This reading is based on the last 20 trading days of 15-minute price, volume, and VWAP data. Price is only slightly above the recent estimated cost basis of 133.88. Price is in the upper half of the main cost band (132.66 to 135.04), which is usually a healthier short-term location because price is holding the stronger side of recent trading activity. The lower down support area sits around 129.84 to 131.18. It looks more like a first buffer than a major floor. About 65% of recent positioning is in profit, so the recent structure is still supported by holders who are not under immediate pressure. From a trading point of view, the main question is whether pullbacks remain controlled before price falls back into the lower support zone.
