Weekly setup

Mixed setup

The weekly trend is not active. Price is 5.2% above the Trend Line and sits at 88.3% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 0.1%, after a 2.6% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality is middle-of-the-pack; growth is moderate; valuation is inexpensive relative to peers. Options positioning is bullish with 35/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 56/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 84d.
