The stock recently closed at $933.34, showing a modest gain of 0.2% on the day. Over the past year, shares have traded within a range of $619.26 to $1,073.46, meaning the current price sits roughly in the middle of that annual range, though below the recent highs. The stock is currently in what technical analysts call a "pullback" phase, trading slightly below its 21-day average by about 0.57 times its average true range. The RSI(2) reading of 31.6 suggests the stock has experienced some recent selling pressure on a very short-term basis.
