AI Summary

TrimMedium

The recent support failure below the long-standing overlap zone has shifted the medium-term bias to bearish, with the broken level now acting as resistance. Price is currently oscillating around short-term moving averages without clear directional conviction, making immediate selling less favorable. Given high confidence in the medium-term downtrend and neutral timing conditions, execution should be deferred by trimming into rallies toward resistance levels rather than initiating new sells. The long-term uptrend remains intact but is under pressure until price recaptures key support levels.
