EL is trading below its 200-day MA ($93.27) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 52.7 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of +28.1% compares to +22.9% for SPY (beat the market by 5.3%). The current 26.3% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
