- Buyers struggled to cleanly convert the 5815 level, but dips to 5805 were met with buy responses, indicating short-term support.
- A midday shift saw prices breaking below 5805, fulfilling downside targets at 5795 and eventually reaching the 5785 key support zone, which had been outlined in the Daily Trade Strategy.
Afternoon sell programs pushed price towards the lower edge of the target zone at 5785, a critical level for bulls to defend. Despite a brief lean towards the long side in the final part of the session, the market settled lower at 5789.25, suggesting that sellers retained control into the close.
