Volume fell on the last day by -3 million shares and in total, 9 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $159.12 million.

The stock has broken the wide and weak rising short-term trend down. This signalizes a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning about a possible trend shift. Due to the trend being broken there will now be resistance at the bottom line of the trend at $18.68. A reaction back to this level may hold a second chance to get out before further falls.
