Weekly setup
Constructive, but selective
The weekly trend is active. Price is 42.7% above the Trend Line and sits at 78.7% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 9.8%, after a 5.9% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality is middle-of-the-pack; growth is moderate; valuation is neither clearly cheap nor expensive. Options positioning is bullish with 66/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 54/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 40d.

Is real participation confirming the move?
Latest weekly volume is 0.9x the 13-week average. Participation is below its recent norm, so price strength is not receiving full volume confirmation.
