S Fund: Price is still within the bearish ascending wedge. This ones still neutral for now. The bearish wedge patterns don’t always execute. Watch to see if price is able to penetrate the upper trend line….

S Fund

 

I Fund: The PMO passed down through it’s EMA to generate an overall sell signal. This took place because Price and the MACD are already in negative configurations.

I Fund

F Fund
