Weekly setup

Mixed setup

The weekly trend is not active. Price is -10.6% below the Trend Line and sits at 14.2% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -2.0%, after a 15.5% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality is middle-of-the-pack; growth is moderate; valuation is neither clearly cheap nor expensive. The latest news-sentiment score is 48/100.

What could go wrong

  • Price is below the Trend Line, which keeps downside pressure in focus.
  • Price is below Fair Value, so the market is still discounting the latest tape.
  • Activity pressure is negative, which weakens the current setup.
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.
