- Shares have fallen to support in what traders call a falling wedge pattern and look like they could see a break below support if the selling continues.
- The stock trades below the 50-day moving average (green) but above the 200-day moving average (blue). This indicates the stock looks to be trading in a period of consolidation. The 50-day moving average may act as resistance while the 200-day moving average may be support.
