Weekly setup

Weak trend

The weekly trend is not active. Price is 4.3% above the Trend Line and sits at 51.5% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 2.1%, after a -2.7% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality is middle-of-the-pack; growth ranks strongly; valuation is expensive relative to peers. Options positioning is bullish with 49/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 62/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 4d.

  • Activity pressure is positive on the latest completed week.
What could go wrong

What to watch next

  • Activity pressure is the gauge to monitor for confirmation or fade.
  • A volume ratio above 1.5x would show stronger participation in the next move.
