US October Consumer Prices Expected to Rise More Slowly

The news reflects expectations of slowing inflation; this could support risk appetite regarding the Fed's rate path and create a mildly positive backdrop for technology stocks. However, since this is an expectation-based news item, its impact is limited and may already be priced in until the data is released. On the technical side, GOOGL is above its 20- and 50-day moving averages at the last close, RSI is neutral around 50, and MACD is slightly positive above the signal line; this picture indicates an upward but weak trend. After a 1.2% decline over 24 hours, rebound buying may be seen, but momentum is not strong. I expect a moderate upward bias in the short term, with a medium confidence level.

The news carries a mildly positive tone for the Fed's rate path as it contains expectations of slowing inflation. However, this is an expectations-based report; since it is not confirmed data, its impact may be limited. The price is above the 20-day average (7456) but stuck below the 50-day (7554), and a 2% decline in the last 24 hours has weakened momentum. RSI at 54 is neutral, MACD is in negative territory but above the signal line; thus, there is a recovery signal but it is fragile. A slight upward bias is possible in the short term, but confidence is low due to the 50-day resistance and data uncertainty.
