Price remains firmly within this container. Contextually, the recent attempt to challenge the corrective high at 351.1 (2026-04-06) resulted in an intense volume-climax rejection. This event served as a definitive failure to challenge the macro downtrend's internal logic. With volume collapsing since the rejection at Index 96, the market is demonstrating a clear lack of conviction in sustaining higher prices. The current price level of 320.5 is failing to hold upward pressure, and the internal momentum has shifted decisively toward distribution. The macro bias remains bearish as the recent corrective impulse has been neutralized, leaving the asset vulnerable to a retest of the lower support boundaries.","contextual_indicators":{"events":[{"type":"Volume Climax","score":10,"metadata":{},"timestamp":"2026-04-13T00:00:00Z","candle_index":96},{"type":"Candle Pattern","score":6,"metadata":{},"timestamp":"2026-05-04T00:00:00Z","candle_index":99}],"volume":{"summary":"Volume peaked at 3,465,577 on the test of the 351.1 high at Index 95/96, representing a massive absorption event.
