ANET — AI Infrastructure Daily Playbook
Arista is in a confirmed uptrend, trading 4.4% above its rising 50-SMA (158.04) and 16.15% above the 200-SMA (142.00), with the 50 stacked cleanly over the 200 — a textbook bullish structure. Momentum is constructive but not stretched: RSI at 55.50 leaves room before overbought conditions, while MACD at 2.97 over its 2.37 signal line keeps the trend bias positive. Near-term support sits at the 50-SMA around 158, with secondary support layered toward the 150 round-number zone before the 200-SMA at 142 comes into play; immediate resistance is the recent local high implied by current price action just above 165, and a clean push through that area would re-open trend continuation.
The setup of interest is a pullback-and-hold into the 158–160 shelf where dip-buyers can be measured against trend, or alternatively a momentum trigger on a daily close that decisively reclaims the 165 area with MACD histogram expanding. The thesis weakens on a daily close back below the 50-SMA (158), and is materially invalidated if price loses the 150 level with RSI breaking under 45 and MACD crossing beneath its signal — that would signal the 16% extension above the 200-day is unwinding rather than consolidating.
