Catalysts

  • Trend turned bearish: The sustained decline below the 20‑day SMA and VWMA after 2026‑05‑21 marks a clear reversal from the prior uptrend.
  • Momentum strongly negative: MACD and RSI both signal intensifying bearish pressure, with the MACD histogram at a multi-month low.
  • Oversold extreme: RSI below 30 and price below the lower Bollinger Band suggest that a short‑term bounce is statistically more likely, though not guaranteed.

Risks

  • Event-driven repricing risk if expectations diverge from incoming evidence.
