Analyst Summary
The break below the 20-day SMA at 8,708 opens the door to further downside probing. At 44, the momentum oscillator reinforces the bearish lean. Sellers have the edge in the near-term. The convergence-divergence oscillator is in bearish mode. Histogram expansion below zero signals sustained selling pressure. Low-conviction tape — volume at 0.0x average means the move lacks the sponsorship for sustained follow-through.
