Weekly setup

Constructive, but selective

The weekly trend is active. Price is 12.8% above the Trend Line and sits at 58.6% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 3.7%, after a 11.4% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality is middle-of-the-pack; growth ranks strongly; valuation is neither clearly cheap nor expensive. The latest news-sentiment score is 49/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal.

What to watch next
