Appian Corp

Price has broken below the 9EMA/20EMA cluster with increasing volume and failed to hold the 50 SMA, indicating a shift into distribution following the recent rally. Medium-term bias is bearish in this Stage 3 distribution phase, while the long-term uptrend remains intact above the 200 DMA. Under a momentum-focused strategy, chasing weak bounces is discouraged, making a disciplined sell here the optimal posture.
