Taking everything into account, BLV scores 0 out of 10 in our technical rating. BLV's overall performance in the market is below average. Also recent evolutions are not that positive. Both the medium and short term picture give negative signs.
The long term trend is still negative, but the short term trend is neutral. It is advised to wait a little bit longer to see how this turns out.
When comparing the yearly performance of all stocks, BLV is a bad performer in the overall market: 73% of all stocks are doing better.
BLV 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.
In the last month BLV has a been trading in a tight range between 66.94 and 69.64.
BLV has a poor technical rating and the quality of the setup is also 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.
