Weekly setup
Constructive, but selective
The weekly trend is active. Price is 6.9% above the Trend Line and sits at 68.5% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 3.3%, after a 10.0% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality is middle-of-the-pack; growth is moderate; valuation is expensive relative to peers. The latest news-sentiment score is 50/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal.
