Weekly setup

Mixed setup

The weekly trend is active. Price is 1.0% above the Trend Line and sits at 64.0% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -4.9%, after a -7.2% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality ranks strongly versus its universe; growth ranks weakly; valuation is expensive relative to peers. Options positioning is bearish with 54/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 54/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 4d.
