Weekly setup

Mixed setup

The weekly trend is active. Price is 6.1% above the Trend Line and sits at 46.9% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 1.1%, after a -3.4% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality ranks strongly versus its universe; growth ranks strongly; valuation is neither clearly cheap nor expensive. The latest news-sentiment score is 58/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal.
