Technical picture
The 14-day RSI is 14, below 30, which is oversold territory: sellers have pushed hard recently. Oversold stocks often bounce, but they can stay weak for a while.
MACD is below its signal line, so short-term momentum is pointing down.
The price is below both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, the classic picture of a downtrend.
Volume is only 0.2x its 20-day average; light trading makes the latest move less convincing.

Market structure shows a bearish break of structure (BOS): price broke a recent swing low in the direction of the trend, which usually signals trend continuation.

Price is sitting in a bullish order block, a zone where large buyers stepped in before.
