The long-term picture is weak. The stock is trading below a falling 200-day moving average — the market's long-term memory is pointing down, meaning sellers have been in control and that hasn't changed. The stock is roughly keeping pace with the S&P 500 — no relative edge either way. The first area where the chart starts to improve is near the 50-day average at $4, where sustained buying would suggest confidence is returning. The bigger test is reclaiming the 200-day at $5. Until the stock can move above that level and stay there, the long-term trend remains unproven. Risk state is elevated: ATR 4.3% · 1Y DD 46% · 2 dist days · 6 gaps.
