Looking back at yesterday's session, the previous day open stood at 2407.51 before printing a high of 2443.86. The session ultimately set a low of 2382.34, yielding a daily range of 61.52, and finished with yesterday's close at 2405.08.

Trend and Momentum

Momentum points lower on the shorter timeframes, with both the 1-hour and 4-hour charts showing a downward trend. Conversely, the daily timeframe reveals a mixed trend, creating conflicting signals across the chart. Because these timeframes disagree, the overall bias remains neutral today.

On the daily chart, price remains above the 200-day EMA at 2316.19. The daily RSI sits at 37.8, reflecting the recent downward pressure within the broader mixed state. Performance over the recent periods aligns with this weakness. The asset has lost 1.06% over the past five days. Zooming out, the twenty-day window shows a larger decline, with price dropping 10.61%.

Key Technical Levels to Watch

The nearest support is the previous day low at 2382.34, located 10.78 away from current trading. The nearest resistance rests at the daily pivot of 2410.43, sitting at a distance of 17.31. Traders also face round levels on the chart, with resistance above at 2400 and support below at 2350.

Looking at recent extremes, the 5-day range shows a high of 2491.64 and a low of 2313.07. The broader 20-day window printed a high of 2776.8, while sharing the same low of 2313.07.

Potential Outlook Scenarios

In a bearish scenario, a break below S1 at 2376.99 would open the way to S2 at 2348.91. A move back above the daily pivot at 2410.43 would invalidate this path.

For a bullish view, a break above R1 at 2438.51 would open the way to R2 at 2471.95. A reversal back below the daily pivot at 2410.43 would invalidate this upside structure.

Broader Market Sentiment and Data Schedule
