LAC is trading below its 200-day MA ($4.54) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 56.1 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of +14.2% compares to +20.5% for SPY (trailed the market by 6.3%). The current 70.2% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
