The current price of $4.20 is located near the May 20 low support level of $4.08, so purchases can be considered while monitoring for a rebound in this range and the influx of trading volume toward the $5.10 resistance level.
Based on the current price of $4.20, if the support line at stop-loss $4.08 does not collapse, we will expect a rebound toward the resistance target of $5.10 and adjust our response accordingly.
RSI(14) is at a neutral level of 44.5, moving averages are in a bullish alignment (right-aligned), trading volume is at 0.86 times the 20-day average, and the 7-day volatility (rate of change) recently recorded -3.8%.
Reviewing actual price reactions after similar events in the past, the historical record shows responses of +3.7% on 2026-09-08, +5.8% on 2026-08-11, +35.1% on 2026-07-29, and +6.6% on 2026-07-17.
With clear positive news of additional contract orders from the US military, we considered entering near the support line ($4.08), which was the 20-day low, expecting a rebound, but the actual result was a failure with a -21.7% return rate. At the entry point, the RSI (14) was 44.5 and trading volume was 0.86 times the 20-day average, indicating relatively weak flow, while over the past 7 days it showed a decline of -3.8%, indicating downward pressure. Despite the positive news, noting that the candlestick pattern showed consecutive declines from October 14 to October 16 (a sharp drop from $3.82 on close to $3.29), rather than rushing into buying simply because it was near the support line, we should have more conservatively verified the trend direction and volume inflow.
Through this trade review, even when the price is located near the support level ($4.08), I will refrain from simply buying the dip if trading volume falls below the 20-day average or if the candlestick pattern shows persistent weakness. Going forward, even if positive catalysts such as contract wins occur, I will refine my actionable criteria to time my entry only after confirming actual trading volume and a reversal in the short-term trend.
