Analyst Summary

RSI at 40 lingers below the midline — momentum remains in the bears' hands, though not yet at capitulation levels. The MACD reading is bearish — histogram below zero and expanding, suggesting selling pressure has momentum behind it. Our 31-strategy scoring model ranks Long Put as the highest-conviction play at 71%.
