Green Circle Decarbonize Technology Ltd. (NYSE:GCDT) stock is sliding during Thursday’s session. The drop stems primarily from aggressive profit-taking after a massive intraday surge during the previous session.

Erasing The Wednesday Skyrocket

GCDT shares skyrocketed on Wednesday, gaining over 111.76%. Traders are locking in gains on Thursday following that dramatic upward move, putting immediate downward pressure on the stock price.

Leadership Changes Spark Volatility

The massive rally began after Green Circle disclosed on Monday that it appointed Louis Ho Ming Leung as CFO, effective immediately. Investors initially hailed the announcement as a major positive catalyst. The company stated that with this hire, it aims to “strengthen its financial operations and support strategic growth objectives in financial management.”

Leung commands over 10 years of experience in accounting and auditing. Green Circle notes that his background in corporate governance and regulatory compliance will be vital as the company pursues expansion.

Critical Support Levels for GCDT Stock

At 80 cents, the stock is sitting just above its 20-day SMA at 77 cents and near its 20-day EMA at 78 cents, which makes this area a short-term line in the sand for bulls trying to hold the recent base. But it's still trading 12.9% below its 50-day SMA at 89 cents and 60.1% below its 100-day SMA at $1.95, keeping the bigger-picture trend tilted lower.

RSI is the cleaner momentum read right now: at 53.35, it's in neutral territory, suggesting the stock isn't stretched enough to force either a snapback rally or a capitulation move on momentum alone.

GCDT Stock Price Activity: Green Circle Decarbonize shares were down 16.07% at $0.72 at the time of publication on Thursday. The stock is near its 52-week low of $0.55, according to Benzinga Pro data.
