OVERSOLDNEUTRALOVERBOUGHT
Analyst Summary
The 20-day moving average at 81.30 now acts as overhead resistance β bears have reclaimed near-term control. RSI has collapsed to 19, indicating capitulation-grade selling. Contrarian risk/reward is compelling if support holds. 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 86% as the highest-probability play. Risk/reward and regime fit both favour this setup.
