Weekly setup

Weak trend

The weekly trend is not active. Price is -16.3% below the Trend Line and sits at 26.5% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -1.2%, after a -9.3% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality is middle-of-the-pack; growth is moderate; valuation is inexpensive relative to peers. Options positioning is volatility with 51/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 52/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 40d.

What to watch next
  • Trend Line remains the key weekly regime level.

  • A volume ratio above 1.5x would show stronger participation in the next move.
