CEL has been increasing alongside an ascending support line since June 13. The rate of increase accelerated on Aug. 7, and the price reached a high of $4.63 on Aug. 13. This seemingly caused a breakout above the $2.10 resistance area.
However, the breakout turned out to be only a deviation, since the price fell below the area shortly afterward. Additionally, it validated it as resistance one more on Sept. 15, creating a very long upper wick (red icon), which is considered a sign of selling pressure.
Now, CEL has returned back to the ascending support line. A breakdown below it would likely lead to new yearly lows.
Due to the rejection from the aforementioned resistance and the RSI decrease below 50 (red circle), a breakdown from the ascending support line would be the most likely scenario.
