Analyst Summary
The 20-day moving average at 8,725 now acts as overhead resistance — bears have reclaimed near-term control. At 36, the momentum oscillator reinforces the bearish lean. Sellers have the edge in the near-term. The moving-average convergence divergence reading confirms downside pressure with a negative and deepening histogram. The structured approach identifies Long Put at 72% as the highest-probability play. Risk/reward and regime fit both favour this setup.
