ACHR is trading below its 200-day MA ($7.79) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 29.5 has dropped into oversold territory, which has historically preceded short-term bounces. The 1-year return of -56.7% compares to +22.9% for SPY (trailed the market by 79.5%). The current 65.3% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
