Weekly setup

Mixed setup

The weekly trend is active. Price is 5.3% above the Trend Line and sits at 59.3% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -0.3%, after a -4.6% 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 mixed with 33/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 52/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal; earnings are due in 42d.
