The price has found resistance on the downward trending and is close to the lower curve of the 20-day Bollinger band. This shows that the price may get undervalued soon, attracting more bulls. The 20-day Bollinger jaw has narrowed, indicating decreasing market volatility. The market is trending below the 200-day simple moving average (SMA 200), SMA 50 and SMA 20 curves. The moving average convergence/divergence (MACD) and Elliott oscillator are both showing two straight bearish sessions. The relative strength index (RSI) indicator is trending around 30.95, right next to the oversold zone.
