VIAV is in a confirmed uptrend, trading above both its 50-day ($43.47) and 200-day ($33.25) moving averages. An RSI of 59.9 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of +303.1% compares to +20.4% for SPY (beat the market by 282.8%). The current 27.9% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
