Technical Rating and Analysis

7

Taking everything into account, CKP scores 7 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.

Both the short term and long term trends are positive. This is a very positive sign.
CKP is currently trading in the upper part of its 52 week range. The S&P500 Index however is currently trading near a new high, so CKP is lagging the market slightly.
CKP is currently showing a bull flag pattern! A bull flag pattern occurs when prices pull back slightly after a strong rise up. This may be a nice opportunity for an entry.
Volume is considerably higher in the last couple of days, which is what you like to see during a strong movement up.
Looking at the yearly performance, CKP did better than 87% of all other stocks. However, this relatively good performance is mostly due to a recent big move.

Setup Rating and Analysis

8

CKP 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. There is a resistance zone just above the current price starting at 10.14. Right above this resistance zone may be a good entry point. There is a support zone below the current price at 10.14, a Stop Loss order could be placed below this zone. Very recently a Pocket Pivot signal was observed. This is another positive sign.

  • A Pocket Pivot is a price/volume accumulation pattern. A Pocket Pivot occurs when price moves up with volume higher than the maximum down volume registered in the previous 10 days.
