Weekly setup

Mixed setup

The weekly trend is active. Price is -3.8% below the Trend Line and sits at 33.9% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -4.7%, after a -15.8% 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 volatility with 52/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 53/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 11d.

What to watch next
  • Trend Line remains the key weekly regime level.
  • Activity pressure is the gauge to monitor for confirmation or fade.
