Strong bearish momentum as MCHP stalls below key resistance

Directional risk elevated as probability favors further downside
In the short term, the expected price range for MCHP is $72.41 to $78.49 according to recent volatility bands. There is a 79% probability of continued downside movement, with only a 21% chance of a sustained move upward. A break above the $78.71 resistance could open a path for a bullish reversal, while a fall below $72.41 would likely trigger further declines.
