Bearish
Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); below the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum negative); 50-day MA is falling (-7.79% over 10 days); weak 1-year return of -26.6%; 3-month momentum negative (-34.8%). Currently 49.2% off its 52-week high. Score: -6/7.
WHR is trading below its 200-day MA ($78.20) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 67.8 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -26.6% compares to +35.1% for SPY (trailed the market by 61.7%). The current 49.2% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
