Weak trend
The weekly trend is not active. Price is - below the Trend Line and sits at 18.7% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -4.0%, after a -17.9% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality is middle-of-the-pack; growth is moderate; valuation is neither clearly cheap nor expensive.
