NIC

NIC has dipped to its 21-day average ($165.83) within the last 3 sessions, so the pullback check passes — the entry sits near support rather than stretched above it. It flips once price goes more than 3 sessions without revisiting that average.

NIC closed at $171.41, 3.0% above its 9-day average ($166.48) — short-term momentum is holding, so this check passes. It flips on a close below $166.48.

2.9% price move from failing (a close below $166.48)

NIC has 1 consecutive up-close into today — under the limit of 2, so it isn't overextended and this check passes. It flips after a second straight green close.

No high-volume gap-down consistent with an earnings miss has appeared in NIC's last 30 sessions, so this check passes. It would flip if such a gap-down showed up inside that window.

NIC has outpaced the S&P 500 by 3.3 percentage points over the last 20 sessions, so the relative-strength check passes. It flips if NIC starts lagging the index over that window.

3.3% from failing

A stop under the recent swing low ($161.96) sits 5.5% below NIC's price — inside the 2–8% band, so the risk check passes. It flips if that distance drops under 2% or widens past 8%.

2.5% from failing

The stop sits 2.5× the average daily range (ATR) from price, clearing the 1-ATR minimum, so this check passes — the stop isn't buried inside normal noise. It flips if that room tightens inside 1× ATR.

1.5× a daily range from failing

Recent volume is 0.93× NIC's 20-day average — below the 1.0× threshold, so the pullback looks quiet and this check passes. It flips if volume pushes past 1.0× that average.
