Analysis
Price at 81477 sits -0.8 ATR below EMA20 with all moving averages in bearish stack (EMA20 81871, EMA50 82433, EMA200 82920), while RSI 39 and negative MACD histogram confirm downside momentum favours the short now. On the way to Target 1 at 79126, price must break below the Bollinger lower band at 80554 and VAL at 81218 to confirm conviction. Trade invalidates above 82783 stop or if Core PPI and Retail Sales at Thu 12:30 UTC print hotter than forecast, triggering a reversal into the swing high at 84055.
