Weekly setup

Weak trend

The weekly trend is not active. Price is -12.6% below the Trend Line and sits at 9.3% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -7.4%, after a -3.7% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality ranks weakly versus its universe; growth ranks strongly; valuation is expensive relative to peers. Options positioning is volatility with 55/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 55/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 13d.

What to watch next

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