ACI is trading below its 200-day MA ($16.32) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 66.3 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -34.8% compares to +20.4% for SPY (trailed the market by 55.2%). The current 37.9% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
