CORT is trading below its 200-day MA ($60.70) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. With an RSI of 79.5, momentum has stretched into overbought territory — short-term pullbacks are common from these levels. The 1-year return of -28.1% compares to +27.9% for SPY (trailed the market by 55.9%). The current 43.5% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
