Weekly setup

Mixed setup

The weekly trend is not active. Price is -3.5% below the Trend Line and sits at 27.2% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 5.7%, after a 1.8% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality ranks strongly versus its universe; growth ranks strongly; valuation is inexpensive relative to peers. Options positioning is bearish with 52/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 55/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 4d.
