Limited reversal likelihood as downside bias prevails short term
In the next two to three sessions, KC is expected to trade within a band of USX283.2 to USX292.2. The upside probability is low at 23%, with a 77% chance of further downside, suggesting a limited likelihood of a reversal. The baseline scenario points to sideways action inside the defined volatility range. A decisive break above USX297.47 would be required for any potential bullish move, while a clear fall through short-term lows could open up additional downside.
