KMX is trading below its 200-day MA ($47.49) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 50.0 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -36.2% compares to +35.1% for SPY (trailed the market by 71.3%). The current 43.2% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
