EQH is trading below its 200-day MA ($47.26) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. With an RSI of 78.7, momentum has stretched into overbought territory — short-term pullbacks are common from these levels. The 1-year return of -10.0% compares to +35.1% for SPY (trailed the market by 45.1%). The current 26.3% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
