LYFT is in a confirmed uptrend, trading above both its 50-day ($15.21) and 200-day ($16.28) moving averages. With an RSI of 71.4, momentum has stretched into overbought territory — short-term pullbacks are common from these levels. The 1-year return of +19.6% compares to +20.4% for SPY (trailed the market by 0.8%). The current 31.6% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
