AU is trading below its 200-day MA ($91.02) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 41.6 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of +57.7% compares to +16.5% for SPY (beat the market by 41.2%). The current 38.3% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
