A cascading downside break from the trading range - bearish pattern
RSI is oversold at 22.9l; it could either turn bearish by dropping lower or it could create a bullish divergence whereby prices continue to drop from the previous hours but the RSI creates a higher high.
Extenuated bearish MACD - the extension created from the sell-off risks a possible drop further as the bearish histogram continues to play out.
