AMC is in a confirmed uptrend, trading above both its 50-day ($2.26) and 200-day ($1.79) moving averages. An RSI of 49.6 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -17.8% compares to +20.4% for SPY (trailed the market by 38.1%). The current 21.4% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
