🔴
Bearish
Positives: above the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum positive); RSI 60 — healthy momentum range. Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); 50-day MA is falling (-2.77% over 10 days); weak 1-year return of -20.8%; 3-month momentum negative (-18.4%). Currently 43.4% off its 52-week high. Score: -3/7.
CHWY is trading below its 200-day MA ($33.33) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 60.2 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -20.8% compares to +35.1% for SPY (trailed the market by 55.9%). The current 43.4% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
