Weekly setup

Mixed setup

The weekly trend is not active. Price is -2.4% below the Trend Line and sits at 51.7% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 2.4%, after a 6.7% 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 42/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 57/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 7d.
