TMC is trading below its 200-day MA ($5.68) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 54.9 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -25.9% compares to +20.4% for SPY (trailed the market by 46.3%). The current 64.7% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
