MMSI is trading below its 200-day MA ($81.33) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 29.6 has dropped into oversold territory, which has historically preceded short-term bounces. The 1-year return of -33.5% compares to +27.9% for SPY (trailed the market by 61.4%). The current 38.1% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
