This confirms a resumption of the downtrend and opens 17.0507, the Apr 29 2016 low. Moving average studies remain in a bear mode position, highlighting a downtrend. Resistance to watch is the 50-day EMA, which intersects at 17.7804. This is a key short-term hurdle for bulls, where a break would signal a reversal. The 20-day EMA intersects at $17.5211.
