AI Summary

TrimMedium

AEE remains in a Stage 4 declining phase with an active Lower Highs & Lower Lows pattern and price below all key EMAs and the 200-day SMA. The medium-term bias is bearish, but extreme oversold conditions raise the risk of a corrective bounce. We will trim into relief rallies toward the 9/20 EMA band (108.27–109.07), rather than selling into immediate extension. The long-term downtrend is intact.
