Volume fell on the last day by -232 thousand shares and in total, 524 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $4.90 million. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.
The stock lies in the lower of a very wide and falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $9.16 is broken, it will firstly indicate a stronger fall rate. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -38.43% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $5.64 and $7.18 at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.

Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The stock should be watched closely.
