Weekly setup

Constructive, but selective

The weekly trend is active. Price is 7.8% above the Trend Line and sits at 91.3% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 0.7%, after a 0.7% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality is middle-of-the-pack; growth ranks strongly; valuation is neither clearly cheap nor expensive. Options positioning is bearish with 49/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 55/100. Near-term considerations: price is close to its 52-week high; earnings are due in 84d.
