Trend Analysis
Main judgment: The multi-window backdrop is still positive, but the latest pace is more mixed. The move is still alive, but it is clearly shifting from expansion into cooling/decay. The L-line spread is narrowing after expansion, while structure is still in repair/probe territory. This is a direct multi-line drop, so the intermediate support steps were not completed in order and the move reads as a fast weakening. Structure moved from above-L4 consensus zone to L2-L3 repair zone. This is a direct multi-line drop, so the structure has gapped lower and the intermediate support steps were not completed in order. If closes stand above L3 (44.957), repair upgrades, leaning to attention; if closes fall back below L2 (44.921), structure re-weakens, leaning to cash / wait. Boundary warning: close is only 0.1% from L2 (44.921), so the upgrade confirmation needs a sustained hold above it, not a single touch. close is only 0.2% from L1 (44.845), so the retreat risk is elevated; a clean break below it would confirm weakening. The prior trend-extension memory has already been confirmed. L-line trajectory: Lines are expanding: volatility expectations are rising, structure is broadening. Jump type: tight-line pseudo-jump. Evidence 1: The direct multi-line drop shows the intermediate support steps were not completed in order, Structure stats: zone streak 1, width shift -14.2%, current zone L2-L3 repair zone. Evidence 2: Until the key L-lines are reclaimed, this should be treated as a fast weakening move, Behavior check: support stable. Action bias: cash / wait.
