<p>Although positive earnings could reverse the trend and make price action go north, as experts predicted, its possibility is slim. Since the start of 2023, there has been a pattern of short pull and hard fall being played by big players. Now, only an extremely positive earnings report could pull the price up.&nbsp;</p>
