QS is trading below its 200-day MA ($8.75) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. With an RSI of 72.4, momentum has stretched into overbought territory — short-term pullbacks are common from these levels. The 1-year return of -31.9% compares to +20.4% for SPY (trailed the market by 52.3%). The current 67.5% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
