CNM is trading below its 200-day MA ($52.20) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 54.2 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -14.8% compares to +22.9% for SPY (trailed the market by 37.6%). The current 28.1% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
