Weekly setup
Constructive, but selective
The weekly trend is active. Price is 6.7% above the Trend Line and sits at 53.0% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -1.5%, after a 12.9% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality ranks weakly versus its universe; growth ranks strongly; valuation is expensive relative to peers. Options positioning is volatility with 48/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 48/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 43d.

Is real participation confirming the move?
Latest weekly volume is 0.6x the 13-week average. Participation is below its recent norm, so price strength is not receiving full volume confirmation.
