Weekly setup

Mixed setup

The weekly trend is not active. Price is 11.4% above the Trend Line and sits at 78.5% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 1.6%, after a 8.9% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality ranks strongly versus its universe; growth ranks strongly; valuation is neither clearly cheap nor expensive. Options positioning is volatility with 51/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 59/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 4d.
