AI Summary

TrimMedium

BIDU remains in a Stage 4 decline with a consistent sequence of lower highs and lower lows under declining EMAs. Both long- and medium-term trends are bearish with no mean-reversion eligibility. Short-term price is tracking below the 9 and 20 EMAs without clear rejection or exhaustion, suggesting that immediate selling is premature. The preferred approach is to initiate a sell on a rejection at the EMA zone or prior resistance range around the 9/20 EMA levels.
