Mixed setup

The weekly trend is active. Price is 12.4% above the Trend Line and sits at 25.9% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -27.4%, after a -23.4% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality ranks weakly versus its universe; growth ranks weakly; valuation is neither clearly cheap nor expensive.
