GLW is holding above its long-term 200-day MA ($134.05) but has slipped below the 50-day MA ($188.36), pointing to short-term weakness in an otherwise intact trend. An RSI of 25.1 has dropped into oversold territory, which has historically preceded short-term bounces. The 1-year return of +163.2% compares to +16.5% for SPY (beat the market by 146.7%). The current 46.0% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
