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 trading 4.7% above the recent estimated cost basis of 240.33, which keeps the recent cost structure in a clearly stronger position. Price is above the main cost band (239.66 to 241.98), and about 98% of recent positioning is already in profit. That supports trend strength, but it also raises the chance of profit-taking if momentum cools. The lower down support area sits around 237.93 to 243.13, and it still looks fairly solid. Recent trading is fairly concentrated, so the nearby heavy zones may matter more than usual. From a trading point of view, the trend still has support, but because the main support sits lower down around 237.93 to 243.13, the key is whether pullbacks remain controlled before dropping back into that zone.
