Weekly setup

Mixed setup

The weekly trend is not active. Price is 2.7% above the Trend Line and sits at 65.7% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 3.4%, after a 1.3% 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 55/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 53/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 3d.
