Mixed momentum as buyers dominate above immediate support

The Ichimoku Kijun offers immediate support at USX20.83. Momentum signals are mixed: MACD reads Strong Buy, RSI and CCI both indicate Buy, while ADX, Stochastic RSI, and the Awesome Oscillator remain Neutral.

Upside potential remains strong as downside risk recedes

Should SB sustain a break above USX21.26, further upside could develop; conversely, a fall through the USX20.83 support might trigger selling toward the lower end of the current volatility band.
