KSS is in a confirmed uptrend, trading above both its 50-day ($16.12) and 200-day ($16.88) moving averages. An RSI of 58.0 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of +31.6% compares to +16.5% for SPY (beat the market by 15.2%). The current 28.9% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
