Weekly setup

Mixed setup

The weekly trend is active. Price is 9.3% above the Trend Line and sits at 78.1% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 0.6%, after a -4.1% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality is middle-of-the-pack; growth ranks weakly; valuation is expensive relative to peers. Options positioning is volatility with 52/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 54/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 3d.

Latest weekly volume is 0.9x the 13-week average. Participation is below its recent norm, so price strength is not receiving full volume confirmation.
