3. Trend Direction Conclusion

Reason: The changes in the three averages compared to the previous day are not entirely consistent, which does not meet the criteria for a clear upward or downward trend, indicating a range-bound market. At the same time, considering the characteristics of the signal combination, there is a stronger short-term rebound momentum, and the overall trend is biased towards an uptrend.
