Weekly setup

Mixed setup

The weekly trend is not active. Price is -23.6% below the Trend Line and sits at 16.0% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 14.9%, after a 35.9% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality ranks weakly versus its universe; growth is moderate; valuation is inexpensive relative to peers. Options positioning is volatility with 65/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 50/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 22d.

What to watch next
