Analyst Summary
The 20-day SMA (97.75) remains unbroken on the downside β bulls retain structural control of the near-term tape. Momentum at 57 is in the sweet spot: bullish enough to confirm direction, not so extended as to warrant caution. The MACD reading is bearish β histogram below zero and expanding, suggesting selling pressure has momentum behind it. Below-average volume undermines conviction in the current direction. Confirmation requires a pick-up in participation.
