LAC is trading below its 200-day MA ($4.94) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 13.1 has dropped into oversold territory, which has historically preceded short-term bounces. The 1-year return of -12.2% compares to +16.5% for SPY (trailed the market by 28.7%). The current 73.3% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
