The VZ stock has been consistently facing selling pressure since December 2020 and the price of the stock has declined by more than 45% since then. This decline in the price of the stock has led to a very strong downtrend in the stock. 

The declining momentum in the VZ stock price is still following up as the share is trading inside a falling wedge pattern. It is also forming bearish candlesticks taking rejection from the higher levels.

With the consistent decline in price, the 50-day and the 200-day EMA are also trading in a death cross. This is followed by the value of the EMAs declining and the price of the stock also leading to lower levels.

The RSI for the VZ stock on the daily charts is trying to bounce back from the oversold zones and is currently trading at a level of 44.88. The RSI is following a bearish cycle and it again takes the rejection at 50 levels and declines to lower levels. The price of the stock can decline to further lower levels.

Conclusion

The revenue of the company is not good enough when compared with the reported debt of the company. The stock also has a low beta which makes it less volatile. The technicals of the stock are totally bearish indicating a sell signal. The price structure is also bearish making new lower lows.

Therefore, if the share price of the VZ stock breaks below the level of $30.00, it can decline to further lower levels. For an up move, the stock will need to push hard and break above the level of $35.00 and prevail above it.
