Daily chart
From a technical standpoint, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits at 22.24, entering oversold territory but not yet reversing, which suggests bearish momentum remains in place. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) prints a sell signal, in line with the broader trend. Meanwhile, both the Bull Bear Power indicator (−6.794) and Stochastic %K (17.85) are showing neutral signals, signaling no immediate shift in direction.
Reinforcing the negative sentiment, all key moving averages continue to flash sell signals. The 10-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 91.24 and 10-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 92.28 sit far above current price action. Similarly, the 20-day SMA (93.24), 100-day SMA (96.17), and 200-day SMA (98.16) maintain their downward slope, confirming the dominant bearish outlook.
