LAC is in a confirmed uptrend, trading above both its 50-day ($4.45) and 200-day ($4.60) moving averages. With an RSI of 80.1, momentum has stretched into overbought territory — short-term pullbacks are common from these levels. The 1-year return of +79.3% compares to +35.1% for SPY (beat the market by 44.2%). The current 54.0% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
