🔴
Bearish
Positives: RSI 46 — healthy momentum range. Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); below the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum negative); 50-day MA is falling (-2.63% over 10 days); weak 1-year return of -56.5%; 3-month momentum negative (-21.1%). Currently 57.5% off its 52-week high. Score: -5/7.
CHWY is trading below its 200-day MA ($30.83) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 45.8 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -56.5% compares to +24.4% for SPY (trailed the market by 80.9%). The current 57.5% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
