Weekly setup

Constructive, but selective

The weekly trend is active. Price is 19.6% above the Trend Line and sits at 92.1% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 5.3%, after a 3.1% 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 bullish with 48/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 49/100. Near-term considerations: price is close to its 52-week high; volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 3d.

Latest weekly volume is 0.8x the 13-week average. Participation is below its recent norm, so price strength is not receiving full volume confirmation.
