Weekly setup
Mixed setup
The weekly trend is active. Price is 27.3% above the Trend Line and sits at 56.3% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 16.1%, after a -23.7% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality is middle-of-the-pack; growth ranks strongly; valuation is expensive relative to peers. Options positioning is bullish with 53/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 54/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 45d.
