In plain words

What the chart above shows, measured. Not advice.

  • Momentum (RSI) is 45, between the 30 and 70 that chart readers watch: neither a fast rise nor a fast fall.
  • Today's trading is 1.8× its usual daily volume: far more shares changed hands than normal.
  • −1.80% over the last month, −9.80% over the last three.
