A firm 20-over-50 crossover is absent, with the 20-SMA still below the 50-SMA around the $723–$743 range. The 10-day SMA sits just below the latest price at $724, while the 10-day EMA is $729, both showing a short-term trend holding above recent lows.

The first resistance level is the R1 pivot at $776, followed by $819 on a confirmed daily close above that zone. On the downside, initial support is near the $749 pivot, with a broader base at the 100-SMA around $732. A move below $732 could expose S1 support near $707 (TradingView, 27 October 2025).
