1. Structure and position:

Price retraced from the high point ~4731.55, dipped to a low of 4515.12, then rebounded. Currently testing the resistance level around ~4618. The TD sequence indicates the downtrend segment (red box 1-9) has completed, and the rebound segment (green box 1-2) is unfolding, suggesting a short-term correction rebound after the decline.

2. Volume and moving averages:

◦ MACD: DIF (-31.65) > DEA (-35.45), with a nascent red histogram, indicating short-term bearish weakening and a potential attempt by bulls to push higher.

◦ KDJ: K(64.88), D(45.28), J(104.08), with J entering the overbought zone, suggesting the rebound may be nearing a pullback.

◦ CCI: 4.66 (neutral), indicating limited rebound strength.
