Analyst Summary
Near-term weakness is evident with price trading below the 20-day SMA (8,794). RSI at 61 holds above the 50-line, confirming the bullish directional bias without yet reaching overbought extremes. MACD histogram negative and deepening — the momentum profile reinforces the short-side thesis. The structured approach identifies Calendar Spread at 80% as the highest-probability play. Risk/reward and regime fit both favour this setup.
