Highlights

MPC remains in a consolidation phase, trading below short-term averages yet above long-term support, signaling mixed momentum.
Momentum and oscillator indicators largely point to neutral-to-bearish sentiment, with intraday conditions showing an oversold environment.
Key trading range for the coming week stands between $239.50 and $254.00, with a close above resistance likely to trigger bullish momentum toward $260.00.

Short-term pressure as price holds above long-term support

MPC is currently trading at $246.51, below both the MA-20 ($255.42) and slightly under the MA-50 ($246.57), but well above the MA-200 ($208.31), indicating short- and medium-term selling pressure with the long-term trend still bullish. The Ichimoku Kijun on D1 is $255.38, and since this is above the current price, it acts as immediate resistance. Near-term support is seen at the MA-50 ($246.57), with key support at the MA-100 ($231.98). Immediate resistance is set at the Ichimoku Kijun ($255.38), with key resistance at the MA-20 ($255.42).

Mixed momentum as bearish bias meets weekly consolidation

Momentum signals are mixed on D1: MACD is neutral while ADX reads 17.14, suggesting a lack of strong trend. RSI is at 45.11 and CCI is at -84.95, both pointing toward a modestly bearish tone, while Stoch RSI and BBP both indicate oversold conditions, signaling selling dominance in the intraday session. Bearish readings from the Awesome Oscillator further support ongoing downward momentum. MPC is trading at $246.51, up $3.60 (1.48%) from the previous week's close at $242.91, positioning it in the upper part of the weekly range. Weekly volatility stands at 4.77%. The weekly tone shows a consolidation phase following recovery from the low.

Upside probability elevated as bullish signals outweigh downside risk

For the coming week, the expected price range is $239.50 to $254.00, anchored between the 52-week low of $158.00 and the 52-week high of $272.46. Weekly indicators (RSI W1, ADX W1, MACD W1, and MA-50 W1) reflect strong bullish signals, so there is a very high probability (more than 80%) of upward movement, while the likelihood of a decline is very low. Baseline scenario: the price remains in a corridor between recent support ($246.57) and resistance ($255.38). Bullish scenario: a close above resistance triggers momentum toward $260.00 and beyond. Bearish scenario: a break below $246.00 could open a pullback toward $232.00.
