🔴
Bearish
Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); below the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum negative); 50-day MA is falling (-7.88% over 10 days); weak 1-year return of -45.8%; 3-month momentum negative (-32.4%). Currently 61.5% off its 52-week high. Score: -6/7.
UPWK is trading below its 200-day MA ($15.62) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 33.9 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -45.8% compares to +27.9% for SPY (trailed the market by 73.6%). The current 61.5% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
