Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, believes NCNA's price is in a vulnerable technical position. He notes that the rally above the MA-20 is outweighed by a clear long-term bearish bias, with multiple resistance levels capping upside. Negative momentum and weak trend strength reinforce a lack of conviction among buyers. Absence of supportive news makes any rebound appear unsustainable. "Without strong catalysts and with sellers still in control, I view further declines as likely despite the temporary bounce seen today."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, remains constructive on NCNA's recovery prospects. He sees the latest price leap above the MA-20 as an early signal of returning demand, suggesting the oversold condition could invite fresh buyers. While news flow is absent, Karapetjanc points out that technical setups offer room for bullish momentum if resistance at $3.86 is breached. He emphasizes, "With potential for a breakout and growing investor attention, the bullish structure remains intact — further growth is still on the table."

Bearish momentum persists despite oversold signals and price divergence

Momentum signals for NCNA are mixed: the daily MACD remains negative and points to ongoing selling pressure, while the ADX indicates a very low trend strength. Several oscillators — including the RSI at 37.83 and the CCI in oversold territory — suggest a possible oversold condition, but the BBP confirms sellers continue to dominate intraday. The Awesome Oscillator supports the bearish momentum outlook as well. Dynamic technical factors highlight resistance at the Ichimoku Kijun near $3.86 and support at the MA-20. Despite the sharp upward move, the divergence between price action and momentum suggests weak trend confirmation.

Previously it was reported that NCNA showed ongoing bearish momentum as it traded below its short- and medium-term moving averages, with technical indicators such as MACD, ADX, and RSI signaling weak conviction and a soft trend. The session closed at the day's low, confirming continued bearish momentum despite minor oversold signals across several timeframes.
