    Significant Downtrend
    Price Volume Trend: The price crashed 69.8% in the last week and 69.8% in the last month. This has been exacerbated by robust volume of 2.5 times average for the week and was on volume of 1.1 times average for month. In the last three months the number of falls outnumbered rises 44:20 or 2.2:1.
    Moving Average Price (MAP): The stock is trading below both its MAPs and the 50-day MAP of 28.42c is lower than the 200-day MAP of 82.80c, a bearish indicator. The 200-day MAP has decreased to 82.80c. A decrease is another bearish indicator.
    Spotting the Top or Distribution: The price was down on higher volume today. There have been six such events of Distribution in the last three weeks. Combined with the fact that today's close of 7.70c was lower than today's mid-bounce price [average of price high and price low] of 10.2 is a bearish signal.
