Setup 89th: no fresh 20-day breakout up or down.

Setup 89th: no fresh 20-day breakout up or down; catalysts 70th: open-market insider buys in 90 days 29, analysts have raised their average price target by 0.1% since the prior reading; weakest is volume and participation 45th: it gapped 6.3% below the previous close and has not traded back through the level it left behind — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed. Its short interest was not measured, so no short-interest deduction applies.
