Weekly setup

Constructive, but selective

The weekly trend is active. Price is 24.4% above the Trend Line and sits at 70.1% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -9.8%, after a 12.8% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality is middle-of-the-pack; growth is moderate; valuation is neither clearly cheap nor expensive. Options positioning is bearish with 39/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 49/100. Near-term considerations: earnings are due in 70d.
