AI Summary

Stalk
TrimMedium

Price remains in a clear Stage 4 downtrend with sequential lower highs and lower lows below declining EMAs. Medium-term bias is bearish fueled by distribution volume and consistent resistance at the 9/21/50 EMA cluster. Short-term timing is neutral as price lies below sloping EMAs without a defined rally or rejection pattern. The recommended approach is to trim into any interim rallies toward the EMA resistance zone, looking for a rejection and continuation of the downtrend.
