Weekly setup

Mixed setup

The weekly trend is active. Price is -2.7% below the Trend Line and sits at 36.1% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -5.2%, after a -13.9% 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 bearish with 62/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 57/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 26d.
