Weekly setup

Weak trend

The weekly trend is not active. Price is -4.6% below the Trend Line and sits at 30.9% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -0.3%, after a -0.1% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality ranks strongly versus its universe; growth ranks strongly; valuation is neither clearly cheap nor expensive. Options positioning is mixed with 24/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 52/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 0d.
