Weekly setup

Constructive, but selective

The weekly trend is active. Price is 21.6% above the Trend Line and sits at 79.0% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -1.3%, after a 3.6% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality ranks weakly versus its universe; growth ranks strongly; valuation is expensive relative to peers. The latest news-sentiment score is 54/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal.
