Weekly setup

Constructive, but selective

The weekly trend is active. Price is 18.5% above the Trend Line and sits at 70.8% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -6.4%, after a 9.5% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality is middle-of-the-pack; growth is moderate; valuation is neither clearly cheap nor expensive. The latest news-sentiment score is 56/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 11d.
