Weekly setup

Constructive, but selective

The weekly trend is active. Price is 7.4% above the Trend Line and sits at 75.1% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 4.8%, after a 7.9% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality is middle-of-the-pack; growth is moderate; valuation is inexpensive relative to peers. Options positioning is bullish with 51/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 55/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 6d.
