Weekly setup
Mixed setup
The weekly trend is active. Price is 1.4% above the Trend Line and sits at 37.3% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -1.7%, after a -9.7% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality ranks weakly versus its universe; growth ranks weakly; valuation is expensive relative to peers. Options positioning is volatility with 58/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 57/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 10d.
