IV. Conclusion on Trend Direction
The current trend of petcoke prices in China is fluctuating. The rationale for this judgment is that the changes in the 5-day, 10-day, and 20-day moving averages compared to the previous day are not entirely consistent, which does not meet the criteria for a clear upward or downward trend. Therefore, it is judged as a fluctuating trend, with a bias towards a rebound.
