What these badges mean
- RSI
- RSI(14) is 40.79. Below 30 oversold, 70 and above overbought; between them neither extreme: 30–45 neutral-low, 45–55 neutral, 55–70 neutral-high. A condition, not a direction.

- 52-week position
- Trading at 78.2% of the 52-week range. Position only — a range position is not itself bullish or bearish.
- Beta
- 52-week beta to the S&P 500 is +1.48. Higher = amplifies market moves; a risk measure, not a direction.
- Relative volume
- Relative volume 0.85x its 20-day average, 35th percentile since 1999. Participation behind the move; not a direction.

- Moving averages

Methodology
This page reports market statistics computed from daily closing data. It states figures and their historical context, and adds a Technical Assessment: a transparent, rules-based reading that puts those same statistics into plain language, including a factor sign tally — a count of how many scored factors read positive, negative or mixed, not a composite score or analyst rating. Every reading follows a fixed, published rule and traces back to the metrics on this page. It is informational and educational only — not investment advice, a price target, a forecast or a recommendation to buy or sell.
Full definitions for every metric on this page — how each is computed, over what window and on what basis — are on the methodology page.
Machine-readable: this page’s numbers and 252-session price history as JSON or the daily close and moving-average series as CSV — the figures above plus the series behind the chart, refreshed each session.
