Price is trading above its 20-day average, which supports short-term momentum.
RSI is in a balanced range, so the signal is not dominated by overbought or oversold pressure.
EWMA realized volatility is moderate, so the model signal is less likely to be overwhelmed by daily noise.
Tail risk check: historical 95% one-day VaR is 0.97% and CVaR is 1.25%.
The return model has not beaten its simple baseline on the chronological validation split, so the forecast is heavily shrunk.
The forecast is an educational log-return model with validation-gated shrinkage, not a price target or investment advice.
Custom model
A custom neural network trains locally on next-session log returns and stores the latest fitted run in this browser. Scaling is fit on the training window only, with a chronological validation split and baseline gates.
