🔵
Neutral
Positives: trading above the 200-day MA (long-term uptrend intact); above the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum positive); strong 1-year return of +51.6%. Concerns: 50-day MA is falling (-0.29% over 10 days). Currently 24.1% off its 52-week high. Score: +3/7.
TAC is in a confirmed uptrend, trading above both its 50-day ($12.86) and 200-day ($13.51) moving averages. An RSI of 69.2 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of +51.6% compares to +27.9% for SPY (beat the market by 23.7%). The current 24.1% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
