Analysis summary
Technical asset picture

Performance scores 87 points (very strong). Key strength: 5Y return at 335.0 %. Even the weakest return is still strong in absolute terms: 1Y return at 41.3 %.
Stability scores 77 points (strong). Best-ranked metric: current drawdown at -1.8 %. Main drag: volatility (365d, annualized) at 30.2 %. That implies elevated swings. Higher Stability points are better and typically reflect calmer swings and smaller drawdowns-but prices can still fall.
Trend scores 88 points (very strong). Key strength: Price is about 8.3 % above SMA50. Even the weakest metric remains solid in absolute terms: 12M momentum at 40.0 %.
