The recent decisive break and close below the multi-week congestion zone confirms a bearish Market Stage, with all key EMAs sloping down overhead. Loss of support signals that sellers retain control, and the path of least resistance is lower. Medium-term bias is bearish, and short-term timing supports immediate participation on the sell side. We recommend Sell Now into the broken support area, using the prior support cluster near the 20/50/200 MA zone as a reference for resistance. A reclaim above that cluster would invalidate the bearish bias and call for deferral.
