AI Summary

Stalk
Sell NowMedium

HUN remains in a pronounced downtrend with a clear sequence of lower highs and lower lows under declining EMAs and SMAs. Medium-term bias is bearish given the Stage 4 structural decline, and short-term timing favors sell execution as rallies into the falling 9- and 20-period EMAs are consistently rejected. Sell participation is warranted now on rejections near the EMAs and intermediate resistance levels.

  • I think that as we look at where we want to be moving as a company, we want to be able to take advantage of adhesives, we want to be taking advantage of aerospace, lightweighting, energy conservation, and as we look at our most stable lens of our business, as we go down, we look at electronics, we look at elastomers, as we look at our adhesives, lightweighting, carbon fiber, composite materials, and so on, those are all areas, I think, for us that we've been able to build a nice platform, and we'd like to continue to do that.
