RSI (47.7)Neutral
OVERSOLDNEUTRALOVERBOUGHT
Analyst Summary
Loss of the 20-day SMA (58.74) flips the near-term structure bearish β the moving average now acts as a ceiling rather than a floor. With RSI at 48, the path of least resistance remains to the downside until buyers can reclaim the neutral zone. The convergence-divergence oscillator prints a bullish signal. Histogram expansion above zero validates the upside move. Elevated volume (15.6x average) validates the current price action β the move has sponsorship.

OVERSOLDNEUTRALOVERBOUGHT
Analyst Summary
The tape holds above the 20-day average (101), maintaining the positive short-term trend channel. Momentum at 55 is in the sweet spot: bullish enough to confirm direction, not so extended as to warrant caution. On the MACD, the fast line has crossed below the signal line with a negative histogram β confirming the bearish momentum shift. The structured approach identifies Long Call at 76% as the highest-probability play. Risk/reward and regime fit both favour this setup.

RSI at 18 signals oversold conditions β the selling may be exhausted, creating a mean-reversion setup. 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 Put as the highest-conviction play at 86%.
