Even on intermediate terms, the bears resume exactly at rising wedge resistance. The intermediate trend extends rising wedge (refer weekly plotting). The current price slid even below 7EMA and likely to drag further dips on the failure swings at wedge resistance & mounting selling momentum signaled by the leading indicators on this timeframe. But see intensified selling interest only on the breach below 21EMA.

Stochastic curves pop up with the %D crossover to signal selling momentum. While RSI has also been showing downward convergence to the prevailing price slumps. These indications have been extremely weaker in the minor trend.
