ORC is trading below its 200-day MA ($7.13) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 66.7 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -5.0% compares to +20.5% for SPY (trailed the market by 25.4%). The current 20.2% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
