Analyst Summary
The 20-day average at 1.17 has failed as support, transitioning into resistance. Price must reclaim it to neutralize the bearish signal. The 38 reading on the momentum gauge signals persistent softness. Sellers maintain the edge until a reclaim of the 50-line. MACD validates the bearish lean: histogram below zero and expanding in negative territory. The impulse leg is to the downside. Our 31-strategy scoring model ranks Iron Condor as the highest-conviction play at 47%.
