🧠 CapitalKeeper View:
Monday’s close indicates that bulls are not ready to give up yet. However, the next two sessions will be crucial to determine if this is a short-covering rally or the start of a fresh leg up. Technical charts are hinting at early strength, but confirmation above 25,200–25,300 is essential for trend continuation.
