AI is trading below its 200-day MA ($15.46) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. With an RSI of 72.7, momentum has stretched into overbought territory — short-term pullbacks are common from these levels. The 1-year return of -52.3% compares to +35.1% for SPY (trailed the market by 87.3%). The current 69.4% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
