Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $11.12 and $11.00. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals.

A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Friday, March 01, 2024, and so far it has fallen -4.28%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found.
