Lower-high after 78k rejection.
Price spiked to a week high near 78,007 during the NY session yesterday then rejected sharply, slicing back through EMA20 and EMA50 in a single H1 candle. Sellers extended through the Asia session to a session low at 75,663, with RSI(14) at 32 and the second 78k push leaving a clear double top against the prior 77,861 high. The broken 76,600 shelf has flipped into resistance on the most recent retest.

Lower high printed after 78k rejection, retracing to mid-range.
Price rallied from the 74220 swing low into a 78000 week high during yesterday's NY session before being rejected hard, printing a lower high and slicing back through both EMAs. The current NY session has extended that decline, with sellers stepping in on every bounce and price now pressing the 75700 session low. RSI is sub-40 and trending lower, with bearish divergence visible at the 78k high.

Higher highs into 78k swept, now retracing toward range mid.
Price swept the week high at 78007 during yesterday's NY session and reversed sharply, slicing through EMA(20) and EMA(50) on H1 with conviction. The 76900 area, prior support turned resistance, now caps and aligns with EMA(20); demand stepping in around 75760 has produced a shallow bounce but RSI(14) at 36 confirms momentum sits with sellers. Structure has shifted from the uptrend that ran since Monday's open to a corrective phase pressuring the 75130 week low.

Uptrend rolling over, sharp pullback in last 12h · RSI 33 · price 75,991.31
Lower-high printed at 78007, breaking week's rising structure.
Price spiked to a fresh week high at 78007 during the NY session before being rejected hard, printing a lower high against Monday's 77861 peak and unwinding through both EMA20 and EMA50 in successive hourly closes. The broken shelf around 76600 capped the latest bounce attempt, and RSI(14) at 33 confirms momentum has flipped, though no test of the week low at 75131 yet.
Support: 75,131.26

Lower-high after rejection from 78,000; testing range mid.
Price spiked to a week high near 78,007 during NY hours before being rejected hard, slicing through EMA(20) and EMA(50) to retest the 75,700 session low. The push to fresh highs came on weaker RSI than the prior 77,700 peak, a bearish divergence that preceded the unwind. Structure now shows a clear lower-high with momentum capped under 76,800.

Uptrend stalling, sharp pullback in last 4 bars · RSI 32 · price 75,854.46
Higher highs into 78,007 followed by lower-high rejection and break of intraday support.
Price tagged a week high at 78,007 during NY hours then rejected sharply, slicing back through EMA20 and EMA50 to test the week low near 75,581. The four-hour selloff carries clear bearish RSI divergence against the 77,861 peak from Monday, with momentum now stretched into oversold. Reaction off 75,581 will define whether this is a false break of the prior range top or a deeper unwind toward the 74,226 swing.

Reclaim of 76,870 last NY open would neutralise the rejection
Geopolitical headlines (Hormuz, Lebanon) capable of materially shifting risk tone
Higher highs into 78k, sharp rejection back to mid-range.
Price ran to a fresh week high at 78007 in the NY session before being slammed back through 77000, printing a clear false break and dragging RSI back into the low 40s. The recovery from Sunday's 74230 swing low stalled at the prior high zone and the H1 is now trading below both EMA(20) and EMA(50) for the first time since Monday. Lower high in price against a higher RSI peak earlier today flags bearish divergence on this leg.

Sustained hold of 76170 with reclaim of EMA20 keeps the week's uptrend intact
Higher highs into 78007, sharp rejection back to range mid.
Price reclaimed the week's range after Monday's flush to 74230, grinding up through the NY session yesterday to tag a fresh week high at 78007 before being fully rejected back inside the range. Current bar sits near 76430, below EMA20 with RSI rolling into the low-40s — the breakout above 77600 failed to hold and price is back to the mid-range pivot. Structure on the week is still net-higher, but the post-spike rejection has neutralised the momentum read.
Support: 76,130.00, 75,290.00, 74,230.00

78007 week-high false break needs follow-through lower to validate
Price recovered from the 74226 swing low early in the window and has built a sequence of higher lows back above EMA(20) and EMA(50). The latest NY session saw a sharp spike to 78007 followed by an equally sharp rejection back to 76870, leaving a clear false break of the week high. RSI(14) has reset to neutral around 51, with structure still constructive while 76126 holds.
