Weekly setup

Mixed setup

The weekly trend is active. Price is 12.5% above the Trend Line and sits at 70.1% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 0.3%, after a -10.8% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality is middle-of-the-pack; growth ranks strongly; valuation is expensive relative to peers. Options positioning is bullish with 44/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 58/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal.
