🟢
Bullish
Positives: trading above the 200-day MA (long-term uptrend intact); above the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum positive); 50-day MA is rising (+3.15% over 10 days); RSI 37 — healthy momentum range; 3-month momentum positive (+10.9%). Currently 30.0% off its 52-week high. Score: +6/7.
ALK is in a confirmed uptrend, trading above both its 50-day ($45.95) and 200-day ($45.81) moving averages. An RSI of 36.8 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -9.3% compares to +16.5% for SPY (trailed the market by 25.7%). The current 30.0% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
