Weekly setup
Constructive, but selective
The weekly trend is active. Price is 1.8% above the Trend Line and sits at 23.2% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 1.4%, after a 1.3% 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 51/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal.
