When comparing the yearly performance of all stocks, we notice that BW is one of the better performing stocks in the market, outperforming 90% of all stocks. However, this relatively good performance is mostly due to a recent big move.

Considerably lower volume is observed in the last couple of days.
BW has an average technical rating and it also does not offer a high 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.
