MNKD is trading below its 200-day MA ($4.55) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 59.1 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -4.4% compares to +22.9% for SPY (trailed the market by 27.3%). The current 43.8% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
