Analyst Summary
The 20-day SMA (7,528) remains unbroken on the downside β bulls retain structural control of the near-term tape. RSI at 49 lingers below the midline β momentum remains in the bears' hands, though not yet at capitulation levels. MACD histogram negative and deepening β the momentum profile reinforces the short-side thesis. Low-conviction tape β volume at 0.7x average means the move lacks the sponsorship for sustained follow-through.

Analyst Summary
The short-term moving average at 58.92 holds as support, keeping the 20-day trend channel intact for now. Momentum at 49 reflects a tape under pressure. Bulls need to push the oscillator back above 50 to shift the narrative. MACD histogram prints positive, confirming the bullish impulse leg is intact. Heavy turnover at 9.9x average signals that the smart money is actively positioning. Conviction trade.

RSI (24.1)Oversold
OVERSOLDNEUTRALOVERBOUGHT
Analyst Summary
Loss of the 20-day SMA (3.09) flips the near-term structure bearish β the moving average now acts as a ceiling rather than a floor. At 24, the momentum gauge is deeply oversold. Mean-reversion setups become statistically attractive, though confirmation is key. The convergence-divergence oscillator is in bearish mode. Histogram expansion below zero signals sustained selling pressure. Volume registers below average β the move lacks broad participation and is susceptible to reversal.
