Market structure: ranging / no clear structure.
The most recent swing high is $18.36 and the swing low is $10.86; traders often treat these as resistance and support.
Fundamentals

Trade plan from the model
The model's short / bearish plan uses an entry near $12.73, a target of $12.24 (-3.8%) and a stop-loss at $13.51 (+6.1%).
