Stock-by-stock read

CYPH — It's in a bullish underlying trend, but an RSI of 72.53 already puts it in technically overbought territory — the next leg could come with more volatility. The daily MACD confirms bullish momentum, and the price just broke its 20-day high — two short-term technical signals lining up. Relative volume of 1.78x is somewhat above normal.
