A hold is recommended until clearer positive catalysts emerge.
The MACD is positive and contracting, indicating a potential weakening of bullish momentum. RSI is neutral at 60.047, and moving averages are converging, showing no strong trend. The stock is trading near its R1 resistance level of 12.939, suggesting limited immediate upside potential.

Analysts are mixed. Evercore ISI lowered the price target to $16 from $23, maintaining an Outperform rating. H.C. Wainwright raised the price target to $47 from $39, citing FDA approval of a new treatment. The sentiment is cautiously optimistic but not overwhelmingly bullish.
