Weekly setup

Weak trend

The weekly trend is not active. Price is -13.9% below the Trend Line and sits at 22.7% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -0.5%, after a -2.5% 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 bearish with 59/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 52/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 6d.
