Weekly setup

Mixed setup

The weekly trend is not active. Price is 9.5% above the Trend Line and sits at 66.6% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 3.0%, after a 16.2% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality ranks strongly versus its universe; growth ranks weakly; valuation is inexpensive relative to peers. The latest news-sentiment score is 53/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal.

What is working

What could go wrong

Price is below Fair Value, so the market is still discounting the latest tape.
Next-week expectancy is negative at 37.92% based on similar historical setup states.
Activity pressure is weak, so confirmation is not yet broad enough.

What to watch next

Activity pressure is the gauge to monitor for confirmation or fade.
A volume ratio above 1.5x would show stronger participation in the next move.
