1. Trend Identification
The price action is currently within a range-bound consolidation phase (highlighted by the blue box), oscillating between 42,600 - 42,800.
A volume profile analysis reveals a strong point of control (POC) at 42,639.47, indicating a key level where most volume has been traded.
There are two potential future scenarios illustrated by the bullish (blue) and bearish (red) channels.
2. Key Support & Resistance Levels
Support Levels:
42,600 (POC & previous demand zone)

The last 60-bar volume comparison shows a slight bullish bias (Up Vol > Down Vol by 1.97%), but the price remains indecisive.
