AI Summary

Stalk
TrimMedium

MKTX remains in a Stage 4 decline with price below all major EMAs and a clear lower‐high/lower‐low sequence, confirming supply dominance. A Post‐Capitulation pattern signals some selling exhaustion, but no higher lows or repair of EMAs have emerged. Short‐term timing is neutral as price tightly tracks just under the 9/21 EMAs. Under the Stable strategy’s defensive framework, we defer bearish engagement until a rally into dynamic resistance, resulting in a Trim posture.
