MTX remains in a sustained intermediate downtrend with sequential lower highs and lower lows below declining EMAs. A Bearish Exhaustion inflection at the downtrend low suggests a near-term relief bounce, but underlying structure and pattern of Lower Highs & Lower Lows keep the medium-term bias bearish. Short-term oversold conditions and a pullback into the 9/21 EMA zone create a timing edge for trimming positions into strength. Long-term trend is still intact above the rising 200 DMA, but execution should focus on resisting strength until clear structural repairs emerge.
