RIG is in a confirmed uptrend, trading above both its 50-day ($5.37) and 200-day ($5.42) moving averages. An RSI of 62.9 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of +91.4% compares to +20.4% for SPY (beat the market by 71.0%). The current 24.8% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
