Weekly setup

Weak trend

The weekly trend is not active. Price is -1.3% below the Trend Line and sits at 66.9% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -0.2%, after a -0.8% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality ranks strongly versus its universe; growth ranks strongly; valuation is expensive relative to peers. Options positioning is bullish with 31/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 57/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 18d.
