The chart below gives a longer view than the previous one and perhaps illustrates more clearly how persistent this downtrend has been ; at the same time it shows how significant breaking it to the upside would be.
There have been three previous attacks on that downtrend line in the last and a half ... perhaps a confluence of Russell-addition-buying and verifiably increasing production will make the fourth try successful.
