⚡ SUGGESTED ACTION

Avoid aggressive long positions until oversold bounce confirms with volume and closes above key resistance. Consider hedging long exposure or waiting for capitulation signals (volume spike, gap down) before re-entering; oversold conditions alone do not guarantee reversal in weak trends.
