The AI's read

Merck and Moderna posted a Phase 3 win in melanoma, validating mRNA as a cancer route and lifting mRNA names. Pfizer is rallying as an mRNA proxy because of its BioNTech ties, not because it owns the melanoma asset. Pfizer is up about 3.5% with RSI ~62, so the move is meaningful but not exhaustion-level. That makes the pop mostly sentiment-driven, with limited follow-through unless Pfizer-specific data arrives. Our take: we lean bullish on the headline-driven lift but cautious on durability. In a neutral, choppy market we'd size smaller and protect gains early.
