Positives: trading above the 200-day MA (long-term uptrend intact); above the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum positive); 50-day MA is rising (+2.93% over 10 days); 3-month momentum positive (+22.9%).

KMX is in a confirmed uptrend, trading above both its 50-day ($41.71) and 200-day ($43.69) moving averages. With an RSI of 89.8, momentum has stretched into overbought territory — short-term pullbacks are common from these levels. The 1-year return of -22.5% compares to +22.9% for SPY (trailed the market by 45.3%). The current 28.8% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
