Positives: RSI 47 — healthy momentum range. Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); below the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum negative); 50-day MA is falling (-6.11% over 10 days); weak 1-year return of -60.3%; 3-month momentum negative (-29.1%). Currently 62.6% off its 52-week high. Score: -5/7.
LULU is trading below its 200-day MA ($174.28) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 46.9 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -60.3% compares to +27.9% for SPY (trailed the market by 88.2%). The current 62.6% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
