Analyst Summary
The 20-day moving average at 98.03 now acts as overhead resistance β bears have reclaimed near-term control. The 43 RSI keeps the momentum profile in bear territory. Rallies are selling opportunities until the 50-line is recaptured. Momentum confirmation is bearish β MACD histogram negative and signal-line crossover pointing lower. The structured approach identifies Long Put at 72% as the highest-probability play. Risk/reward and regime fit both favour this setup.
