Weekly setup
Constructive, but selective
The weekly trend is active. Price is 22.2% above the Trend Line and sits at 82.8% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -3.2%, after a 0.9% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality is middle-of-the-pack; growth is moderate; valuation is expensive relative to peers. The latest news-sentiment score is 57/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal.
