The structure has clearly shifted from a strong uptrend into a <strong>medium-term pullback<\/strong>, with price now testing whether a base can form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trend Structure and Momentum<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The moving averages show a clear deterioration in trend:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>MA5: 4479<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>MA10: 4577<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>MA20: 4843<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>MA30: 4938<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Price is currently:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Slightly above <strong>MA5<\/strong>, but<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Still <strong>below MA10, MA20, and MA30<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This tells you the bounce is <strong>early-stage and fragile<\/strong>, not yet a confirmed reversal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The earlier sell-off was aggressive, with long bearish candles and strong follow-through.
