Analyst Summary
Price has broken below the 20-day SMA (29,801), shifting short-term structure to defensive. Momentum at 45 reflects a tape under pressure. Bulls need to push the oscillator back above 50 to shift the narrative. The convergence-divergence oscillator is in bearish mode. Histogram expansion below zero signals sustained selling pressure. The structured approach identifies Long Put at 93% as the highest-probability play. Risk/reward and regime fit both favour this setup.
