TECHNICAL RATING
TECHNICAL SCORE
17 / 100
Summary
Price sits below its key moving averages: about 2.4% under the 20-day (176.28), roughly 11% below the 50-day (193.28) and about 20.9% under the 200-day (217.57), with a 50/200-day Death cross in place. Momentum is modestly constructive, with MACD above its signal line and a small positive histogram while RSI(14) is 39.1 in the weak band, a picture the model treats as confirming the downtrend. The stock is trading inside the Bollinger bands and today’s volume is below the 20-day average, which reduces conviction in any directional move. Watch for a clear reclaim of the 20-day or a pickup in volume on up days to alter the current view.

Rating ruleFormula: the Technical Score is a weighted composite of eight inputs. Trend inputs — price vs. the 20-day (10%), 50-day (15%), and 200-day (25%) moving averages, and the 50/200 Golden or Death cross state (10%) — carry roughly 60% of the weight. Momentum inputs — MACD (12/26/9) vs. its signal line (15%) and RSI (14) state (10%) — carry 25%. Bollinger-band position (5%) and volume vs. the 20-day average (10%) round out the remainder. Each input contributes +1, 0, or -1, weights are re-normalized when a component is unavailable, and the weighted sum is thresholded at +/-0.45 to Bullish, Neutral, or Bearish.
