..............
The chart appears to have a failed double top ,broken its long term uptrend on 22/08 at $2.50 in what appears to be a stage 4 downtrend although 2.10 would need to be broken to confirm this.Todays activity in a bouyant market is giving blip away.
It might just be oversold as stochastics are also low. Sheesh
Anyway 6 analysts cant be wrong ?
