On the daily chart, the price continues to decline as the marlin oscillator signal line drops below its trend line resistance.

On the four-hour chart, the price is also falling without strong jerks, which caused the oscillator to recover to a zero balanced line. The price has strong resistances, we do not think that a neutral marlin can develop an upward trend in this situation, its growth is more consistent with the discharge before a further decline.
