MNKD is trading below its 200-day MA ($4.56) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 59.5 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -20.9% compares to +24.4% for SPY (trailed the market by 45.3%). The current 47.8% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
