AI is trading below its 200-day MA ($11.70) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 19.5 has dropped into oversold territory, which has historically preceded short-term bounces. The 1-year return of -68.7% compares to +16.5% for SPY (trailed the market by 85.1%). The current 70.8% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
