Analyst Summary
With price anchored above the 20-day moving average (8,795), the short-term trend channel favours continuation higher. Momentum at 47 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. Quantitative screening across 31 structures identifies Calendar Spread (74%) as today's top-ranked setup.
