Analyst Summary
Price respects the 20-day average at 96.44 as a floor, offering a constructive base for directional longs. Momentum at 58 is in the sweet spot: bullish enough to confirm direction, not so extended as to warrant caution. MACD validates the bearish lean: histogram below zero and expanding in negative territory. The impulse leg is to the downside. The structured approach identifies Iron Condor at 50% as the highest-probability play. Risk/reward and regime fit both favour this setup.
