ASTS is trading below its 200-day MA ($81.65) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 57.1 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of +52.6% compares to +20.5% for SPY (beat the market by 32.1%). The current 48.7% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
