Indicators:

• RSI: 51.16 (bearish crossover)
• MACD: Bearish crossover, histogram weakening
• Short-term trend: Weakening
• Bias: Mild bearish to consolidation

Interpretation:

Momentum deterioration along with bearish indicator crossovers suggests caution. A move below 25,900 could accelerate selling, while recovery above 26,100 is needed to regain strength.

• MACD: Below reference line, bearish slope
• Trend: Slowing momentum
