AI Summary

Stalk
TrimMedium

VECO remains in a clear medium-term downtrend under Stage 4, with price trading below the declining EMAs and forming lower highs and lows. RSI is oversold yet lacks a clean bounce or reversal signal. There is no compelling entry for bearish execution until price rejects into the 9/20 EMA zone or breaks and holds below the 200 DMA. We defer and look for a more defined reaction at key resistance or support for downside engagement.
