Analyst Summary
The 20-day moving average at 8,797 now acts as overhead resistance — bears have reclaimed near-term control. Momentum at 38 reflects a tape under pressure. Bulls need to push the oscillator back above 50 to shift the narrative. MACD histogram turns negative, adding weight to the bearish thesis. Volume is running cold at 0.0x the norm. Without broader participation, the current directional bias is vulnerable.
