IBM is trading below its 200-day MA ($275.27) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 66.5 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of +6.3% compares to +35.1% for SPY (trailed the market by 28.8%). The current 22.0% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
