CVNA is in a confirmed uptrend, trading above both its 50-day ($67.17) and 200-day ($72.41) moving averages. With an RSI of 70.7, momentum has stretched into overbought territory — short-term pullbacks are common from these levels. The 1-year return of +10.3% compares to +20.4% for SPY (trailed the market by 10.1%). The current 22.4% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
