Weak trend
The weekly trend is not active. Price is -86.4% below the Trend Line and sits at 1.7% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 33.3%, after a -75.0% 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 50/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal.
