Bearish momentum persists as technical signals tilt negative

Downside bias dominates as rebound risk remains muted
Looking ahead to the next few days, KC/USX is likely to trade within a typical volatility band between USX263.41 and USX281.6. The probability of a significant rebound remains very low, with downside scenarios favored if support near USX263.41 fails. Stable sideways action is the baseline expectation unless the price can break above the immediate resistance at USX274.08.
