Price has decisively broken below the $70.70 support zone and the 20-day EMA/50-day SMA, signaling a bearish shift. The Support Failure pattern underscores buyers’ inability to absorb supply and heightens the risk of accelerated downside under a Stage 4 distribution environment. Short-term timing favors selling rallies into the former support-turned-resistance area around the 20/50 EMA confluence. While the long-term uptrend remains intact above the 200-day SMA, a sustained reclaim of the broken zone would be required to relieve medium-term downside pressure.
