ASR Compression Before Expansion?

$ASR has transitioned from a clear downtrend into a tight 4H range. Price is consolidating near 1.45 after reclaiming short-term EMAs, while the long EMA still slopes downward.

Momentum recently expanded but is now flattening, suggesting equilibrium between buyers and sellers.

If $ASR breaks and holds above range highs, upside continuation becomes more likely. A loss of current support would invalidate the recovery attempt and shift focus back to lower levels.
