WU is currently trading in the lower part of its 52 week range, which is not a good signal. Certainly not because the S&P500 Index is trading near new highs.
The long term trend is still neutral, but the short term trend is positive, so the stock is getting more and more appreciated by traders and investors.
In the last month WU has a been trading in the 10.04 - 11.37 range, which is quite wide. It is currently trading in the middle of this range where prices have been consolidating recently, this may present a good entry opportunity, but some resistance may be present above.
WU has an average volume of 5262670 traded shares per day. This is a good sign as it is always nice to have a liquid stock.
Volume is considerably higher in the last couple of days.
WU has a poor technical rating and the quality of the setup is also not perfect 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.
