The two-year trend term is up.  The one-year trend is sideways.

A seven-week uptrend has emerged following a higher low W pattern reversal in March. However, the trend’s upward momentum has slowed significantly over the past three weeks and with today’s sharp pullback may be signaling a shift to sideways.
