• Support ' Swing low at $3169.52; retest of the low at $3171.94 shows weak resistance.
• Liquidity ' High liquidity zone at 10.95'% indicates robust participation around the 3169'3172 range.
• Fear Index ' Extreme fear rating 16 suggests a highly defensive sentiment that could compress volatility.
