Ares Management Corp

ARES remains in a Stage 4 downtrend trading below its declining 9/20 EMAs and 200-day SMA. The medium-term bias remains bearish under sustained lower-highs and lower-lows. Short-term conditions lack clear continuation or reversal signals, making immediate selling suboptimal. Defer trimming into any rally toward the 9/20 EMA zone near 136–138, anticipating rejection at resistance.
