Analyst Summary
With price anchored above the 20-day moving average (25,015), the short-term trend channel favours continuation higher. The 97 RSI print warns of stretched momentum. Consider scaling out of directional longs or hedging with defined-risk structures. On the MACD front, the histogram is positive and the fast line sits above the signal line β textbook bullish configuration. Below-average volume undermines conviction in the current direction. Confirmation requires a pick-up in participation.
