Outlook

Expect continued consolidation with a bias towards further downside testing toward the 930-940 support zone unless a high-volume breakout above the EMA20 occurs.
long-term outlook
Despite strong YTD gains, the asset needs to form a macro higher low to resume its broader uptrend, remaining vulnerable to extended corrections.
Strategy
short-term strategy
Look for short entries on retests of the EMA20 (around 954) or breakout trades below the 940 local support level.
long-term strategy
Accumulate gradually only upon definitive signs of stabilization and reversal above the 1,000 psychological handle.
