Analyst Summary
The tape holds above the 20-day average (79,407), maintaining the positive short-term trend channel. Momentum at 60 is in the sweet spot: bullish enough to confirm direction, not so extended as to warrant caution. MACD histogram negative and deepening — the momentum profile reinforces the short-side thesis. Volume prints 1.3x above the 20-day average — institutional conviction backs the move.

Analyst Summary
With price beneath the 20-day moving average (2,308), the burden of proof shifts to the bulls. Rallies into the SMA are selling opportunities until reclaimed. The 45 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. The structured approach identifies Long Put at 61% as the highest-probability play. Risk/reward and regime fit both favour this setup.
