🔴
Bearish
Positives: above the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum positive); RSI 47 — healthy momentum range. Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); 50-day MA is falling (-3.04% over 10 days); weak 1-year return of -44.0%; 3-month momentum negative (-19.8%). Currently 52.0% off its 52-week high. Score: -3/7.
CHWY is trading below its 200-day MA ($27.66) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 46.7 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -44.0% compares to +16.5% for SPY (trailed the market by 60.5%). The current 52.0% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
