Rocky Brands Inc (RCKY -$0.90 or -1.65% to $53.56) suffered a 4th consecutive loss today. It recently violated its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($56.38) raising concerns. A rebound above that important short-term average is needed for its outlook to improve. The prior low ($50.52 on 5/19/21) defines the next important support where any violation may trigger a more worrisome technical sell signal.
