Key Observation
The biggest clue on this chart is not the current price.
It is the sequence:
5662 High
5410 Lower High
4900 Lower High
4650 Lower High
The market has been producing a series of lower highs since January 2026.
That confirms the long-term uptrend has weakened substantially.
However, the current 4290–4242 zone is the strongest support area on the entire chart since the January 2026 peak, making it a logical area for at least a technical rebound during the next 1–3 weeks before the market decides whether the correction is complete or extends toward 4148–4000.
