Price history

AI thesis

HOOD is consolidating just below its 50-day SMA after a short-term pullback, with a bullish MACD crossover indicating building upward momentum. Strong 60-day momentum and a rising RSI suggest the broader uptrend remains intact despite declining short-term volume. A decisive break above the 50-day SMA should trigger a continuation towards the $115 level.
