Analyst Summary
Price has broken below the 20-day SMA (96.97), shifting short-term structure to defensive. RSI at 40 lingers below the midline β 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. The structured approach identifies Long Put at 55% as the highest-probability play. Risk/reward and regime fit both favour this setup.

Analyst Summary
The 20-day SMA at 3.02 continues to act as dynamic support β price remains above it, reinforcing upside bias. With RSI at 69, the risk/reward for new long entries deteriorates. Favour strategies that benefit from a pullback or consolidation. The convergence-divergence oscillator prints a bullish signal. Histogram expansion above zero validates the upside move.
