Weekly setup

Constructive, but selective

The weekly trend is active. Price is 29.2% above the Trend Line and sits at 44.8% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 3.9%, after a 3.5% 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 48/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal.
