Stage 4 decline remains intact with a clear LH/LL sequence and Support Failure pattern, confirming a bearish medium-term posture despite the underlying long-term uptrend. Price is extended below the 9/21/50 EMAs, indicating poor timing for fresh sell entries. Execution should be deferred into rallies toward the 9/21 EMA zone or the mid-June support area now acting as resistance. With Mean Reversion not eligible, bearish engagement is permitted only on pullback failures and rejections.
