Weekly setup

Mixed setup

The weekly trend is active. Price is 0.6% above the Trend Line and sits at 37.1% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -7.3%, after a -9.4% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality ranks weakly versus its universe; growth ranks weakly; valuation is inexpensive relative to peers. Options positioning is volatility with 46/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 56/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 3d.
