The RSI was bearish and well over the oversold region on March 20, so the passing cross appears to have had an impact - in opposition to confirm that it has a tendency to be a slacking pointer emerging before an upturn.

A nearby (according to UTC) beneath $758 (Feb. 6 low) could yield a more profound auction to $719 (September 2017 high). Facilitate misfortunes are improbable, as the RSI would indicate oversold condition by at that point.
