Analyst Summary
The 20-day moving average at 24,120 now acts as overhead resistance — bears have reclaimed near-term control. The 45 reading on the momentum gauge signals persistent softness. Sellers maintain the edge until a reclaim of the 50-line. The moving-average convergence divergence reading confirms downside pressure with a negative and deepening histogram. The structured approach identifies Calendar Spread at 81% as the highest-probability play. Risk/reward and regime fit both favour this setup.

Analyst Summary
Sellers have pushed through the 20-day average (57,825), signaling a deterioration in near-term structure. RSI at 43 lingers below the midline — momentum remains in the bears' hands, though not yet at capitulation levels. MACD validates the bearish lean: histogram below zero and expanding in negative territory. The impulse leg is to the downside. Our 31-strategy scoring model ranks Long Strangle as the highest-conviction play at 65%.
