Weekly setup

Mixed setup

The weekly trend is active. Price is 11.2% above the Trend Line and sits at 69.5% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -1.9%, after a -6.7% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality is middle-of-the-pack; growth is moderate; valuation is expensive relative to peers. Options positioning is volatility with 52/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 54/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 1d.
