Weekly setup

Mixed setup

The weekly trend is active. Price is 6.7% above the Trend Line and sits at 77.1% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 2.2%, after a -0.8% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality is middle-of-the-pack; growth is moderate; valuation is expensive relative to peers. Options positioning is mixed with 39/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 53/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 4d.
