Key Insights Summary

The weekly structure remains bullish across intermediate and long-term pivots and all benchmark averages, with price holding well above the rising 20, 55, 100, and 200 period benchmarks. Short-term conditions are more conflicted: the weekly fib grid is down and both recent short signals occurred near 30013, while the market is testing the 30343 pivot resistance after a fast V-shaped rebound from 27576.50. The large weekly ranges reflect elevated volatility and a potentially frothy retest of the 30343 to 31090 resistance band. A sustained higher-low structure remains intact above 27201.50, while rejection beneath 30343 keeps the short-term swing profile counter-trend and rotational within the broader uptrend.
