Weekly setup

Mixed setup

The weekly trend is not active. Price is 2.3% above the Trend Line and sits at 36.1% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -0.5%, after a 9.5% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality ranks weakly versus its universe; growth ranks weakly; valuation is inexpensive relative to peers. The latest news-sentiment score is 52/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal.

What to watch next

A volume ratio above 1.5x would show stronger participation in the next move.
