Weekly setup
Constructive, but selective
The weekly trend is active. Price is 14.6% above the Trend Line and sits at 82.1% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -1.7%, after a 8.3% 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 46/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal.
