Price has decisively broken below key support at the recent $12.61 low and remains under all major moving averages, validating a continuation of the medium-term downtrend. The active Support Failure and successive lower highs and lows patterns highlight sustained selling pressure, and short-term momentum is bearish with EMAs sloping down. Relief rallies into the $12.61–12.87 resistance zone should be sold, with only a clear close above the 20-EMA and 50-SMA invalidating this bearish bias.
