FWRD is trading below its 200-day MA ($21.92) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. With an RSI of 85.5, momentum has stretched into overbought territory — short-term pullbacks are common from these levels. The 1-year return of -34.7% compares to +22.9% for SPY (trailed the market by 57.5%). The current 59.0% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
