AI Summary

Sell NowMedium

FDP sits in a Stage 4 decline with a clear sequence of lower highs and lower lows. A Bullish Pivot Point at the recent low has produced a bounce into the rising 9- and 20-day EMAs, yet price remains below the 50-day and 200-day SMAs, affirming the medium-term downtrend. The short-term rally into the EMA zone offers a favorable sell location. Sell now targeting rejection at the EMAs; a decisive hold above the 50-day SMA on volume would invalidate the bearish medium-term bias.
