The Eagle indicator has reached oversold levels, signaling that a technical rebound is possible. However, market participants should await confirmation through a solid consolidation pattern before anticipating a bullish reversal.

Immediate downward pressure targets intermediate support around $3,950. A decisive breakdown below $3,950 would confirm a sell signal, targeting the -2/8 Murray level near $3,906. Conversely, the $3,906 zone may act as a potential accumulation area for long positions, contingent on confirmed support and price stabilization.
