Weekly setup
Constructive, but selective
The weekly trend is active. Price is 11.3% above the Trend Line and sits at 49.6% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 2.7%, after a 5.4% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality is middle-of-the-pack; growth ranks weakly; valuation is neither clearly cheap nor expensive. The latest news-sentiment score is 62/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal.

Is real participation confirming the move?
Latest weekly volume is 0.9x the 13-week average. Participation is below its recent norm, so price strength is not receiving full volume confirmation.
