Weekly setup

Constructive, but selective

The weekly trend is active. Price is 12.1% above the Trend Line and sits at 86.6% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 0.3%, after a 5.6% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality is middle-of-the-pack; growth ranks strongly; valuation is inexpensive relative to peers. Options positioning is bullish with 48/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 61/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 35d.
