Technical Details
The quarter was dominated by a distribution phase, characterized by a persistent downtrend and increasing volume. Price action ended near the quarter's lows, reflecting significant selling pressure and weak structure.
The quarter began with price at approximately 2045.0, and concluded near 1631.8, marking a substantial decline of over 20%. The closing price sat at the very bottom of the quarter's trading range (0.01 position), indicating a weak finish.
Early in the quarter, the trend was already established as downward, with price below key moving averages. This downward momentum persisted through the mid-quarter, with no significant shifts towards recovery. The latter part of the quarter saw continued price weakness, reinforcing the dominant distribution phase.
The overall trend regime was firmly in a downtrend across short, medium, and long terms. This was supported by a weak structure, evidenced by a low percentage of price action above the SMA50 and a declining trend quality. The downward slope of the SMA50 further confirmed the bearish technical picture.
Volume behavior showed an increasing trend, which, in conjunction with declining prices, suggests increasing selling pressure and a lack of strong participation to support any upward moves. Volatility remained in a normal regime but showed a rising trend, indicating an expansion in risk conditions as the quarter progressed.
The dominant phase was clearly distribution, driven by volatile price action and high confidence in the downward trend. This phase is characterized by persistent selling pressure, which aligns with the observed price declines and increasing volume.
A key event was the breakdown below support levels, signaling a significant weakening of the price structure and confirming the bearish sentiment.
