RSI (71.0)Overbought
OVERSOLDNEUTRALOVERBOUGHT
Analyst Summary
Near-term structure remains constructive with price trading above the 20-day SMA (29,082). With RSI at 71, the risk/reward for new long entries deteriorates. Favour strategies that benefit from a pullback or consolidation. The convergence-divergence oscillator prints a bullish signal. Histogram expansion above zero validates the upside move. Volume registers below average β the move lacks broad participation and is susceptible to reversal.

The 20-day average at 100 has failed as support, transitioning into resistance. Price must reclaim it to neutralize the bearish signal.

OVERSOLDNEUTRALOVERBOUGHT
Analyst Summary
Loss of the 20-day SMA (82.44) flips the near-term structure bearish β the moving average now acts as a ceiling rather than a floor. At 48, the momentum oscillator reinforces the bearish lean. Sellers have the edge in the near-term. MACD confirms the directional momentum: histogram above zero and widening. The impulse leg has room to extend. Thin participation (0.2x average) suggests the tape may be drifting rather than trending. Treat breakouts with scepticism.

Analyst Summary
With price beneath the 20-day moving average (2.77), the burden of proof shifts to the bulls. Rallies into the SMA are selling opportunities until reclaimed. With RSI at 49, the path of least resistance remains to the downside until buyers can reclaim the neutral zone. MACD histogram prints positive, confirming the bullish impulse leg is intact. At 0.2x average volume, the move is thinly traded. Liquidity gaps could trigger sharp reversals on any catalyst.
