Weekly setup

Mixed setup

The weekly trend is active. Price is 71.8% above the Trend Line and sits at 68.5% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -14.2%, after a -8.6% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality is middle-of-the-pack; growth is moderate; valuation is neither clearly cheap nor expensive. Options positioning is volatility with 56/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 54/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 13d.
