Analyst Summary
Loss of the 20-day SMA (4,661) flips the near-term structure bearish β the moving average now acts as a ceiling rather than a floor. With RSI at 41, the path of least resistance remains to the downside until buyers can reclaim the neutral zone. MACD confirms the directional momentum: histogram above zero and widening. The impulse leg has room to extend. At 19.0x normal volume, the flow data confirms institutional participation. This is a high-conviction move.
