Warning: BCV has an average volume of 15650 traded shares per day. This is quite low and it might be dangerous to invest in illiquid stocks.
BCV is currently trading in the upper part of its 52 week range. The market is still in the middle of its 52 week range, so BCV slightly outperforms the market at the moment.
The short term trend is negative, but the long term trend is still positive. So although the long term is still positive, this may be a trend turning.
Looking at the yearly performance, BCV did better than 76% of all other stocks. However, this overall performance is mostly based on the strong move around 4 months ago.
In the last month BCV has a been trading in a tight range between 17.77 and 18.77.
The technical rating of BCV is bad and it also does not present a quality setup at the moment. Price movement has been a little bit too volatile to find a nice entry and exit point. It is probably a good idea to wait for a consolidation first.
