🔴
Bearish
Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); below the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum negative); 50-day MA is falling (-2.71% over 10 days); RSI 21 — oversold; 3-month momentum negative (-19.3%); rising volume on a downtrend (distribution, 1.44x avg). Currently 21.8% off its 52-week high. Score: -6/7.
CME is trading below its 200-day MA ($282.18) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 21.1 has dropped into oversold territory, which has historically preceded short-term bounces. The 1-year return of -6.4% compares to +24.4% for SPY (trailed the market by 30.7%). The current 21.8% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
