Setup Rating and Analysis

10

BOTJ has an excellent technical rating and also presents a decent setup pattern. We see reduced volatility while prices have been consolidating in the most recent period. A pullback is taking place, which may present a nice opportunity for an entry. There is a resistance zone just above the current price starting at 14.70. Right above this resistance zone may be a good entry point. There is a support zone below the current price at 14.25, a Stop Loss order could be placed below this zone. We notice that large players showed an interest for BOTJ in the last couple of days, which is a good sign. Very recently a Pocket Pivot signal was observed. This is another positive sign.
