4. Conclusion on Trend Directions
The current price trend is biased towards strength within a range-bound market. Reason: The directions of the three average differences compared to the previous day are not entirely consistent, which does not meet the criteria for a clear upward or downward trend, thus it is in a range-bound market; however, D10 and D20 are both trending upwards, and all three average differences are positive, indicating a clear overall bullish characteristic.
V. Positional Spatial Reference
The current prices of 2-ethylhexanol for 60 days, 3 months, and 1 year are all at high levels, corresponding to the 5th tier (high level) out of 5 tiers, with limited room for further increases.
