5 July 2026 — $246.03 — ACCUMULATION (state model: sideways, 1 day, 55% confidence). Journal opened mid-range of a $196 to $279 year. Season: quiet building, screen 85. Tensions on file: five executives selling on five consecutive days in late May (~$5M), our $164 fair value against the street’s $311, and a state model that has not made up its mind. Next review: a second insider cluster, a range edge, or the state resolving, whichever is first.
