🔴
Bearish
Positives: RSI 55 — 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 (-3.75% over 10 days); weak 1-year return of -31.4%; 3-month momentum negative (-24.0%). Currently 46.4% off its 52-week high. Score: -5/7.
NKE is trading below its 200-day MA ($60.23) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 55.3 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -31.4% compares to +24.4% for SPY (trailed the market by 55.8%). The current 46.4% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
