AI Summary

Stalk
Sell NowMedium

RCAT is entrenched in a Stage 4 decline with confirmed lower highs and lower lows and price trading below all key moving averages, underscored by the Post-Parabola Collapse pattern signaling a full unwind of speculative excess. While extreme oversold readings suggest potential relief bounces, the medium-term bias remains firmly bearish. A pullback into the declining 9 EMA and 21 EMA presents a structurally valid selling opportunity, and with no mean-reversion eligibility, further downside continuation is the path of least resistance.
