Today, the MIBK spot price in China showed a weak and fluctuating trend. The average difference indicator displayed a weak rebound (bearish) signal.

I. Table of Mean Difference Changes
Mean Difference Indicator Today’s Value (2026-08-11) Yesterday’s Value (2026-08-10) Direction of Change
5-day average difference (D5) -5.01 -23.33 +
10-day average difference (D10) -3.33 26.67 -
20-day average difference (D20) -44.16 -37.50 -
II. Signal State Determination
The current mean difference change direction combination is (+, -, -), which conforms to the characteristics of a weak rebound (biased bearish) signal.
III. Conclusion on Trend Direction
The price trend is oscillating. Reason: The directions of the 5-day, 10-day, and 20-day average differences are not completely consistent. Among them, the 5-day average difference has increased compared to yesterday, while the 10-day and 20-day average differences have decreased compared to yesterday, meeting the criteria for an oscillating market. Additionally, the signals indicate a weak rebound with a bearish bias, suggesting a weaker short-term trend.
IV. Positional Spatial Reference
The MIBK price is in the median range over a 1-year period, also at the median level over a 60-day period, and in the lower-to-median range over a 3-month period. The median range implies that there’s some room for both upward and downward price movements; however, combined with the current bearish signals, short-term downward momentum is relatively strong, and upward potential is constrained.
