Technical picture
The 14-day RSI is 27, below 30, which is oversold territory: sellers have pushed hard recently. Oversold stocks often bounce, but they can stay weak for a while.
MACD is below its signal line, so short-term momentum is pointing down.
The price has slipped below its 50-day moving average but is still above the 200-day: a pullback inside a longer-term uptrend.
Volume is 2.5x its 20-day average, so the latest move has real participation behind it.
Trend structure and money flow
Market structure: ranging / no clear structure.
The most recent swing high is $128.47 and the swing low is $108.27; traders often treat these as resistance and support.
Fundamentals
The PEG ratio is 1.74, which looks reasonably priced for its growth.
The company reports a profit margin of 9.3% and revenue growth of +11.6%.
In its latest quarter it earned $1.13 per share, which beat the $1.09 analysts expected, with revenue +11.6% year over year.

Trade plan from the model
