Weekly setup

Mixed setup

The weekly trend is not active. Price is 10.0% above the Trend Line and sits at 84.0% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 10.3%, after a 14.3% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality is middle-of-the-pack; growth is moderate; valuation is neither clearly cheap nor expensive. Options positioning is volatility with 54/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 55/100. Near-term considerations: earnings are due in 5d.
