ELF is trading below its 200-day MA ($87.68) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 67.2 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -52.4% compares to +22.9% for SPY (trailed the market by 75.3%). The current 59.5% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
