Analyst Summary
The break below the 20-day SMA at 78,619 opens the door to further downside probing. RSI at 36 lingers below the midline — momentum remains in the bears' hands, though not yet at capitulation levels. MACD validates the bearish lean: histogram below zero and expanding in negative territory. The impulse leg is to the downside. Strategy selection converges on Long Put (63%) — the quantitative factors align across direction, momentum, and implied volatility.

Analyst Summary
Near-term weakness is evident with price trading below the 20-day SMA (2,199). RSI has collapsed to 30, indicating capitulation-grade selling. Contrarian risk/reward is compelling if support holds. MACD histogram negative and deepening — the momentum profile reinforces the short-side thesis. The model's top pick is Long Put (63%) — the optimal structure given current trend, momentum, and volatility readings.
