Caution
Positives: trading above the 200-day MA (long-term uptrend intact); RSI 42 — healthy momentum range. Concerns: below the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum negative); 50-day MA is falling (-1.29% over 10 days); 3-month momentum negative (-10.1%). Currently 12.2% off its 52-week high. Score: +0/7.
VZ is holding above its long-term 200-day MA ($44.35) but has slipped below the 50-day MA ($47.50), pointing to short-term weakness in an otherwise intact trend.
