Weekly setup
Constructive, but selective
The weekly trend is active. Price is 4.2% above the Trend Line and sits at 35.7% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -2.9%, after a 0.6% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality ranks strongly versus its universe; growth ranks strongly; valuation is neither clearly cheap nor expensive. The latest news-sentiment score is 56/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal.

- The share remains more than 20% below its 52-week high.
- Trend Line remains the key weekly regime level.
- Activity pressure is the gauge to monitor for confirmation or fade.

Is real participation confirming the move?
Latest weekly volume is 0.6x the 13-week average. Participation is below its recent norm, so price strength is not receiving full volume confirmation.
