Weekly setup

Mixed setup

The weekly trend is not active. Price is 9.0% above the Trend Line and sits at 37.7% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 4.1%, after a 2.0% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality ranks weakly versus its universe; growth is moderate; valuation is neither clearly cheap nor expensive. The latest news-sentiment score is 52/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 3d.

What is working

What could go wrong

  • Next-week expectancy is negative at 44.63% based on similar historical setup states.
  • Activity pressure is weak, so confirmation is not yet broad enough.
What to watch next
  • Trend Line remains the key weekly regime level.

  • A volume ratio above 1.5x would show stronger participation in the next move.
