A new license for the operation of a cannabis extraction facility in Portland might as well be the catalysts that will shore up Golden Leaf Holdings Ltd (CNSX:GLH) prospects in the market. After a stellar start to the New Year, the stock came under pressure, as short sellers assumed control, fuelling a sell-off wave that has seen the stock shed more than 50% in market value.While the stock has bounced back from its one-year lows of $0.15 a share, it remains susceptible to further declines, given the underlying long-term downtrend. The stock is currently flirting with a key resistance level at $0.18, waiting to see if the new catalyst has what it takes to prevent further implosion. GLH Daily ChartA rally followed by a close above the $0.19 mark should open the door for the stock to make a push for the $0.22 mark, seen as the next resistance level. A breach of the $0.14 on any sell-off should reaffirm the long-term downtrend, which could see the stock dropping even further despite the recent pullback.About Golden Leaf HoldingsGolden Leaf Holdings is a Canadian Cannabis company engaged in the cultivation, production, and distribution of cannabis products.
