Histogram expansion below zero signals sustained selling pressure. Strategy selection converges on Long Put (84%) — the quantitative factors align across direction, momentum, and implied volatility.

OVERSOLDNEUTRALOVERBOUGHT
Analyst Summary
Loss of the 20-day SMA (8,385) flips the near-term structure bearish — the moving average now acts as a ceiling rather than a floor. The 48 RSI keeps the momentum profile in bear territory. Rallies are selling opportunities until the 50-line is recaptured. MACD validates the bearish lean: histogram below zero and expanding in negative territory. The impulse leg is to the downside. Quantitative screening across 31 structures identifies Calendar Spread (74%) as today's top-ranked setup.
