Weekly setup

Mixed setup

The weekly trend is active. Price is 4.6% above the Trend Line and sits at 68.4% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -2.8%, after a -0.8% 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 52/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 15d.
