3. Trend Direction Conclusion
The short-term trend is choppy and tilted bearish. Reason: The three moving averages did not all shift in the same direction as the previous day, failing to meet the criteria for a clear uptrend or downtrend; this corresponds to a pullback‑bearish pattern of (-, +, -). Coupled with the recent consecutive declines in methanol prices in China’s major producing regions and weakening auction‑clearing prices, upward support remains weak in the near term.
