US92686J1060 - Common Stock
Taking everything into account, VKTX scores 5 out of 10 in our technical rating. This is due to a consistent overall performance, although we see some doubts in the very recent evolution. In the medium time frame things are still looking good.
VKTX is currently showing a bear flag pattern! A bear flag pattern occurs when prices pull back slightly after a strong move down. This may present a good short opportunity.

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.
When comparing the yearly performance of all stocks, we notice that VKTX is one of the better performing stocks in the market, outperforming 97% of all stocks. We also observe that the gains produced by VKTX over the past year are nicely spread over this period. However, this overall performance is mostly based on the strong move around 4 months ago.
VKTX is currently trading in the middle of its 52 week range. The S&P500 Index however is currently trading near new highs, so VKTX is lagging the market.
Considerably lower volume is observed in the last couple of days.
VKTX has an average technical rating and also the quality of the setup is only medium 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.
