The price trend is determined to be oscillating. The reason is that the directions of the three mean differences compared to the previous day are not entirely consistent, which meets the criteria for an oscillating market. Currently, it is in a strong consolidation phase with a bias towards an upward oscillation pattern. The 5-day mean difference is narrowing, while the 10-day and 20-day mean differences are showing positive recovery.
