Weekly setup

Mixed setup

The weekly trend is active. Price is 1.8% above the Trend Line and sits at 75.1% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -3.9%, after a -0.5% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality is middle-of-the-pack; growth is moderate; valuation is neither clearly cheap nor expensive. Options positioning is bullish with 47/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 56/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 3d.
