Morning Trend | BancFirst reduces volume and grinds the bottom, has the short momentum been exhausted?

BancFirst (BANF.US) has seen a continuous decline in trading volume for several days, with its stock price repeatedly testing the support zone below. However, the downward momentum of short sellers has clearly weakened, and the community catchphrase is "it can't fall further, nor can it bounce back." Some bottom-fishing funds have begun to pay attention to the rebound potential in the bottom area. In recent years, the stock has exhibited a defensive style with financial attributes, attracting value investors due to its low volatility characteristics, but short-term traders are more concerned with breakthroughs in short-term rhythms. As the technical chart converges, intraday fluctuations have noticeably narrowed, with occasional minor movements in the order book, but no collective buying has been observed. If trading volume increases moderately in the future and repeatedly confirms the support level, a bottom repair rally is expected to unfold. If the volume does not expand for a long time, it may still remain stuck in a sideways pattern below. It is recommended to pay attention to when institutional funds actively flow back and the movements of bank stocks in the same sector. As long as there is no systemic decline in the broader market, the short-term "micro-bounce" window for BancFirst could open at any time, and the key lies in who "lights the first fire" among the main players
