Weekly setup

Mixed setup

The weekly trend is active. Price is 20.7% above the Trend Line and sits at 81.7% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 5.9%, after a -5.4% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality ranks weakly versus its universe; growth is moderate; valuation is neither clearly cheap nor expensive. The latest news-sentiment score is 50/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 23d.
