ISRG is trading below its 200-day MA ($493.35) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 50.4 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -24.4% compares to +24.4% for SPY (trailed the market by 48.7%). The current 30.1% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
