FWIW, regarding consolidation
Well, another day sideways and it does look like consolidation. I like this because it looks to me like the inverse C & H is now off the table. It started a nicely-formed handle but went sideways from that point rather than completing.
Whew!
So short-term, my concern is behavior within the descending trading channel and the long-term rising support, which is above the channel's descending support and below the current prices lows. I'm hoping to see that support honored when the support intersects prices.
The Q reporting and CC may occur before they intersect though, so that line may be largely irrelevant.
MHO,
Bill
