AVXL remains entrenched in a Stage 4 decline with active lower highs and lower lows under declining EMAs. Both medium-term and long-term directional biases are bearish, and with price trading near support and below key EMAs, execution should be deferred until rallies into the declining 9/21 EMA resistance zone for a rejection-based trim entry.
