MFG has transitioned into a Stage 3 distribution phase, evidenced by a decisive breakdown below June support and a bearish Support Failure pattern. The short-term trend is down with price rejecting rallies into the declining 9/21 EMA zone, reinforcing medium-term bearish bias. Absence of mean-reversion eligibility and continued selling pressure argue for immediate engagement to the downside. Key risks include a false breakdown supported by the 50 DMA or a temporary bounce that could stall continuation.
