CWST is trading below its 200-day MA ($94.07) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 53.1 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -26.0% compares to +27.9% for SPY (trailed the market by 53.9%). The current 28.4% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
