QS is trading below its 200-day MA ($10.43) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 66.3 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of +92.4% compares to +35.1% for SPY (beat the market by 57.3%). The current 62.8% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
