Sell NowHigh

WEC is in a pronounced downtrend with price breaking key support and trading below all major moving averages. The medium- and long-term directional bias is bearish, reinforced by a support failure pattern signaling committed selling. Short-term conditions favor immediate participation to the downside, with no evidence of short-term exhaustion or reversal. Execution is best at the current breakdown zone near 105–106, as resistance around 106.12–107.06 should cap any relief rallies.
