Weekly setup

Constructive, but selective

The weekly trend is active. Price is 53.2% above the Trend Line and sits at 63.5% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 4.1%, after a 9.1% 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 bullish with 47/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 55/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 32d.
