Workhorse Daily Chart Analysis

• The stock looks to be breaking below the higher low trendline in what technical traders call an ascending triangle pattern.
• The $18 price level is an area the stock has struggled to cross above in the past. The higher low trendline has been a place of support, but may turn into resistance if it breaks below the line and struggles to cross above it again.
• The stock trades below both the 50-day moving average (green) and the 200-day moving average (blue), indicating the stock is likely facing a period of bearish sentiment.
• Each of these moving averages may hold as a potential area of resistance in the future.
• The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has been moving lower the last few weeks and sits at 32. This shows the stock has seen an increase in the amount of sellers. It is nearing the oversold area that starts at 30, where selling pressure is much greater than buying pressure.
