During the last week, the price has fallen below the Parabolic SAR (stop and reversal). A Parabolic SAR above the price is a bearish signal, and it indicates that momentum is likely to remain in the downward direction.

During the last week, the price has declined below the moving average in the center of the Bollinger Bands.
