Weekly setup

Mixed setup

The weekly trend is not active. Price is 13.6% above the Trend Line and sits at 82.8% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 5.6%, after a 8.3% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality is middle-of-the-pack; growth ranks strongly; valuation is inexpensive relative to peers. Options positioning is volatility with 50/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 55/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 2d.
