1. Trend Assessment:

  • EMA-21 & SMA-50: Current price is just below EMA-21 ($2,635.50) and SMA-50 ($2,636.50), confirming a short-term bearish pullback with medium-term bullish potential.
  • Ichimoku Cloud: Price is hovering slightly under the Ichimoku Cloud baseline, signaling indecision. Break above $2,636.50 confirms continuation.

  • Analysis: Current price retesting bullish FVG near $2,632 indicates potential for reversal upward if supported by momentum.
