The MACD (12,26,9) suggests a stable uptrend, as the histogram remains positive, though it has slightly narrowed. The MACD line (blue) is well above the signal line (yellow), supporting the ongoing bullish sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key levels to monitor include <strong>3167.65 <\/strong>as immediate resistance and <strong>3140.00 <\/strong>as key support. A break above the resistance could signal further upside momentum, while a drop below support may result in a temporary pullback or consolidation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Markets await clarity on Trump\u2019s next steps regarding the tariff policy.
