🔴
Bearish
Positives: RSI 39 — healthy momentum range. Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); below the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum negative); 50-day MA is falling (-4.00% over 10 days); weak 1-year return of -53.1%; 3-month momentum negative (-23.1%). Currently 56.0% off its 52-week high. Score: -5/7.
CHWY is trading below its 200-day MA ($30.32) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 39.5 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -53.1% compares to +22.9% for SPY (trailed the market by 76.0%). The current 56.0% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
