- The 14-day relative strength index (RSI) has dropped below the two-month rising trendline. The pattern indicates that price consolidation may end with a bearish move.
- The MACD histogram, an indicator used to identify trend changes and gauge trend strength, is teasing a bearish crossover below zero.
- However, intermediate-term studies favor a bullish breakout from the ongoing price squeeze.
- On the higher side, the 50-day simple moving average at $35,240 remains the level to beat for the bulls.
- Contracting Bollinger bands suggest a big move is overdue.
