Weekly setup

Mixed setup

The weekly trend is active. Price is 7.2% above the Trend Line and sits at 59.2% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 10.8%, after a -30.7% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality is middle-of-the-pack; growth ranks weakly; valuation is inexpensive relative to peers. Options positioning is volatility with 49/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 65/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal.
