Analyst Summary
The 20-day SMA at 25,924 continues to act as dynamic support — price remains above it, reinforcing upside bias. The oscillator at 57 reflects sustained buying interest — bulls control the momentum channel. Momentum confirmation from MACD — the signal line crossover is bullish and the histogram continues to expand. Low-conviction tape — volume at 0.6x average means the move lacks the sponsorship for sustained follow-through.

Analyst Summary
Beneath the 20-day moving average (4,964), the tape is in distribution mode. Sellers control the structure. The 40 reading on the momentum gauge signals persistent softness. Sellers maintain the edge until a reclaim of the 50-line. Momentum confirmation is bearish — MACD histogram negative and signal-line crossover pointing lower. Our 31-strategy scoring model ranks Long Put as the highest-conviction play at 63%.
