According to the 4-hour cycle display, the member indicator has detected the formation of a top tier pattern, with prices falling from 3447 to 3327, accompanied by a 26.56% increase in trading volume and enhanced downward momentum. The distribution of chips shows that the 3125-3140 area is strongly supported, with buying accounting for 93.6%. However, the current price is far away from this area, and the EMA24 (3350) support may continue to be tested in the short term. The combination of KDJ dead cross and MACD double top pattern confirms the pullback pressure. If it falls below 3300, the next target will be the chip intensive area of 3132.

[Charles Schwab Analyst Says Fed Rate Cuts May Provide Short-Term Support for Risk Assets but Volatility Likely to Remain Elevated] Charles Schwab analyst Richard Flynn stated that the Federal Reserve is sending a cautious signal by taking preemptive action in the face of rising downside risks, particularly amid sluggish global growth and ongoing policy uncertainty.
