Analyst Summary
With price beneath the 20-day moving average (23,928), the burden of proof shifts to the bulls. Rallies into the SMA are selling opportunities until reclaimed. RSI at 37 lingers below the midline — momentum remains in the bears' hands, though not yet at capitulation levels. MACD histogram negative and deepening — the momentum profile reinforces the short-side thesis. Volume is running cold at 0.0x the norm. Without broader participation, the current directional bias is vulnerable.

Analyst Summary
The 20-day moving average at 54,901 now acts as overhead resistance — bears have reclaimed near-term control. Momentum at 36 reflects a tape under pressure. Bulls need to push the oscillator back above 50 to shift the narrative. The MACD reading is bearish — histogram below zero and expanding, suggesting selling pressure has momentum behind it. Low-conviction tape — volume at 0.0x average means the move lacks the sponsorship for sustained follow-through.
