RKLB is trading below its 200-day MA ($77.80) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 15.6 has dropped into oversold territory, which has historically preceded short-term bounces. The 1-year return of +32.8% compares to +16.5% for SPY (beat the market by 16.3%). The current 57.7% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
