CRCL is trading below its 200-day MA ($86.43) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 59.9 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -48.6% compares to +20.4% for SPY (trailed the market by 68.9%). The current 55.1% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
