🔴
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 (-0.89% over 10 days); 3-month momentum negative (-13.8%); rising volume on a downtrend (distribution, 1.20x avg). Currently 23.3% off its 52-week high. Score: -5/7.
WMT is trading below its 200-day MA ($118.52) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 32.8 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of +5.9% compares to +20.5% for SPY (trailed the market by 14.6%). The current 23.3% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
