 Technically, the stock broke its 9-yrs support (re: N21.00 established on May 6^th 2003), on April 17^th 2012 with a maximum 5% loss to close at N20.96. The stock plunged by -33.75% between December 16^th  2011 and April 17th 2012 to hit the new 9-years low of N20.96 as the bearish sentiments persisted. 

The bearish volume trend reveals a strong sell tendency from investors in the year - a pointer to weak shareholders/investors loyalty. The stock recorded its 9-years high of N195.51 on June 15^th 2004.
 

In the year thus far, the stock has traded a bearish volume of 4.89million units only. This points to the inactive status of the stock as total volume traded so far in the year represents less than 1% of the shares outstanding.

We observed a consistent outflow of the cash from the stock as money flow index closed negative, buttressing the significant weakness in shareholders' loyalty while the stock remained depressed as technically revealed by the RSI. The high selling propensity suggests the possibility of a sustained downtrend in the coming periods.
 

Be that as it may, a price trend reversal is not in doubt as the stock appears to have bottomed-out while the depressed posture of the price as revealed by RSI could actually incite speculative buying if fundamentals run a positive pitch.
