SFM is trading below its 200-day MA ($97.40) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 61.6 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -52.7% compares to +22.9% for SPY (trailed the market by 75.6%). The current 55.4% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
