Broken down below, falling this year inside a rising 2.003463269691781-year channel
Price has closed below the channel. Support has failed — treat the buy target with caution.
The next few months are read from the last 12 months, not the last 2 years: that channel fits this stock's recent turns at least as well (71% against 46%) and it is the one price is respecting now. The last 2 years stay as context: rising, +6% a year. A stock can be falling inside a channel that still rises over years; that is what this is, and only one of the two can be the near-term expectation. The nearest ceiling overhead is US$5.03, from the last 2 years. What would overturn this: a close below US$4.29 — the floor of the channel being read — after which the trend, not the entry, is what was wrong.
