MACD histogram remains in positive territory, underpinning the current directional move. The structured approach identifies Long Call at 58% as the highest-probability play. Risk/reward and regime fit both favour this setup.

The model's top pick is Iron Condor (57%) — the optimal structure given current trend, momentum, and volatility readings.
