3.6% latest week
Weekly setup

Constructive, but selective

The weekly trend is active. Price is 4.2% above the Trend Line and sits at 60.3% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 3.6%, after a 9.7% 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 60/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal.
