FIBK has transitioned into a Stage 3 distribution phase, evidenced by a decisive failure at the 50-day SMA and an active Bearish Pivot Point pattern signaling structural repair to the downside. Short-term momentum is negative as price trades below the 9/20/50 EMAs, while the long-term trend remains supported by the rising 200-day SMA. Given the medium-term bearish bias and unfavorable timing, we sell now, using rallies into the broken 50-day SMA and declining EMAs as execution points.
