Positives: above the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum positive); 50-day MA is rising (+1.16% over 10 days); 3-month momentum positive (+22.1%). Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); RSI 79 — overbought, elevated pullback risk; weak 1-year return of -27.9%; rising volume on a downtrend (distribution, 1.25x avg).

ZS is trading below its 200-day MA ($224.08) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. With an RSI of 79.3, momentum has stretched into overbought territory — short-term pullbacks are common from these levels. The 1-year return of -27.9% compares to +27.9% for SPY (trailed the market by 55.8%). The current 45.9% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
