🔴
Bearish
Positives: RSI 60 — 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 (-4.71% over 10 days); weak 1-year return of -40.2%; 3-month momentum negative (-20.7%). Currently 40.8% off its 52-week high. Score: -5/7.
TU is trading below its 200-day MA ($12.47) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 60.0 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -40.2% compares to +20.5% for SPY (trailed the market by 60.7%). The current 40.8% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
