Analyst Summary
Short-term trend damage is confirmed below the 20-day SMA (66,845). The path of least resistance points lower until this level is recovered. RSI has collapsed to 34, indicating capitulation-grade selling. Contrarian risk/reward is compelling if support holds. Momentum confirmation is bearish — MACD histogram negative and signal-line crossover pointing lower. Heavy turnover at 1.6x average signals that the smart money is actively positioning. Conviction trade.

Analyst Summary
The break below the 20-day SMA at 7,091 opens the door to further downside probing. RSI has collapsed to 32, indicating capitulation-grade selling. Contrarian risk/reward is compelling if support holds. MACD validates the bearish lean: histogram below zero and expanding in negative territory. The impulse leg is to the downside. Long Put leads the strategy table at 86% — directional bias and vol regime both align.
