OVERSOLDNEUTRALOVERBOUGHT
Analyst Summary
The 20-day average at 10,368 has failed as support, transitioning into resistance. Price must reclaim it to neutralize the bearish signal. Momentum at 41 reflects a tape under pressure. Bulls need to push the oscillator back above 50 to shift the narrative. MACD validates the bearish lean: histogram below zero and expanding in negative territory. The impulse leg is to the downside. Long Put leads the strategy table at 66% — directional bias and vol regime both align.
