AI Summary

Stalk
Sell NowMedium

BKV remains in a Stage 4 decline with a clear sequence of lower highs and lower lows, trading below declining short- and medium-term EMAs. The medium-term bias is bearish, favoring selling rallies into the EMA cluster, while short-term timing is bearish as price rejects resistance without any exhaustion. A sustained reclaim above the EMAs and the 50 DMA would invalidate the bearish permission.
