Weekly setup

Constructive, but selective

The weekly trend is active. Price is 21.0% above the Trend Line and sits at 83.9% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -0.8%, after a 17.6% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality is middle-of-the-pack; growth ranks weakly; valuation is inexpensive relative to peers. The latest news-sentiment score is 56/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 7d.
