UPST is trading below its 200-day MA ($41.87) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 50.7 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -42.1% compares to +24.4% for SPY (trailed the market by 66.5%). The current 65.9% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
