Trend Identification
EMA
Exponential Moving Average
Current price (139.34) is below both Short MA (144.46) and Long MA (150.14). This indicates strong bearish momentum. Short MA (144.46) is below Long MA (150.14), a bearish crossover ('Death Cross' if it's a significant period). This indicates a downward trend. MAs (144.46, 150.14, 148.71) show mixed alignment, suggesting market indecision or range-bound activity. Consider short positions. Use the MAs as dynamic resistance levels.

Consider this as a potential early buy signal.
