How to read this: the line is the closing price over time. The two dashed lines are moving averages — the average price over the last 50 and 200 trading days — which smooth out daily noise to show the broader trend. Price above its moving averages reflects recent strength; below reflects recent weakness. Use the buttons to change the time range. Prices are end-of-day, not live.
