Analyst Summary
The 20-day moving average at 24,328 now acts as overhead resistance — bears have reclaimed near-term control. RSI at 40 lingers below the midline — momentum remains in the bears' hands, though not yet at capitulation levels. The MACD reading is bearish — histogram below zero and expanding, suggesting selling pressure has momentum behind it. At 0.0x average volume, the move is thinly traded. Liquidity gaps could trigger sharp reversals on any catalyst.
