Sustained bearish momentum confirmed as key support and resistance hold
Scripps remains under the $3.01 MA-20, $3.1 MA-50, and $3.56 MA-200, confirming persistent seller pressure across short-, medium-, and long-term timeframes. The stock’s immediate trading corridor is defined by near-term resistance at $2.81 and support at $2.64, with broader trend signals reinforced by the bearish alignment between MA-50 and MA-200. Momentum readings are weak overall. Both the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and Average Directional Index (ADX) support a bearish bias, with the latter indicating limited trend strength at 13.11. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 30.67, and both the Stochastic RSI and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) register oversold conditions, highlighting a stretched downside. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) at -0.16 shows sellers dominate intraday momentum, and the oversold outlook is reinforced by CCI and Stochastic RSI. The Awesome Oscillator also signals downward momentum in line with the trend. The stock is up $0.095 or 3.6% today after an upside gap of roughly $0.05 (1.89%), with the price sitting mid-range between $2.64 and $2.81. Intraday volatility stands at 6.44%. The session opened strong but is seeing sideways consolidation as the initial rally moderates. Overall, short-term momentum indicators confirm the broader picture of downside pressure, despite today’s brief bounce.

The latest rebound has not altered the prevailing trend, and the key level to watch is $2.64, where a sustained break could trigger further weakness in the near term.
