Weekly setup

Constructive, but selective

The weekly trend is active. Price is 34.9% above the Trend Line and sits at 88.3% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -4.8%, after a 9.8% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality is middle-of-the-pack; growth is moderate; valuation is neither clearly cheap nor expensive. The latest news-sentiment score is 53/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal.
