Highlights

MPC maintains a broad bullish structure, trading above key short-, medium-, and long-term trend indicators despite recent declines.
Volatility this week reached 4.2%, with price action at the lower end of the weekly range after a 1.47% decline.
Technical signals indicate an 80% probability of price stabilization or renewed upside, with an expected range of $254.20 to $269.40 next week.

Bullish structure as price holds above multi-timeframe supports

MPC is trading at $258.15, just above its MA-20 ($256.04) but firmly above MA-50 ($243.26) and MA-200 ($204.10), confirming a bullish structure across short, medium, and long-term trends. The Ichimoku Kijun at $253.30 is below the current price, indicating immediate support; near-term support is at the MA-20 ($256.04), with key support at the MA-50 ($243.26). Immediate resistance stands at the MA-10 ($260.41) and stronger resistance at the Ichimoku Kijun ($253.30) flipping to support, with MA-100 ($223.51) further out but currently not in play.

Mixed momentum as recent buyer strength fades at weekly lows

Momentum is mixed on D1, with MACD and ADX both in buy territory, while Stoch RSI and RSI reflect lingering buying strength but CCI and BBP show mild overbought and waning buyer momentum. BBP indicates overbought conditions, suggesting buyers recently dominated but are losing grip intraday. The Awesome Oscillator remains supportive of the prior uptrend, but intraday signals point to some pressure from sellers. MPC has fallen $3.86 (1.47%) over the past week, trading at $258.15 versus the previous weekly close of $262.01. The price is now positioned at the very bottom of its weekly range, with volatility this week standing at 4.20%. This reflects a steady decline from the high, aligning with the cooling momentum.

Upside bias as technical signals outweigh downside risk

Looking ahead, the expected price range for the next week is $254.20 to $269.40, keeping the action within 2–4.5% of the current price and well within the yearly bounds from the $158.00 low to the $272.46 high. Based on W1 signals—RSI, MACD, ADX, and MA-50—all showing "Buy," there is a very high probability (more than 80%) of price stabilization or renewed upside, with a low chance of a steep decline. The baseline scenario anticipates sideways movement between $254.20 and $269.40. A bullish breakout above $269.40 could target the all-time high, while a drop below $254.20 might accelerate selling down toward the MA-50 on D1, setting up a new support test.
