Both the short term and long term trends are positive. This is a very positive sign.
FCTR is currently trading in the upper part of its 52 week range. The S&P500 Index is also trading in the upper part of its 52 week range, so FCTR is performing more or less in line with the market.

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, FCTR did better than 70% of all other stocks. However, this overall performance is mostly based on the strong move around 7 months ago.
In the last month FCTR has a been trading in a tight range between 31.98 and 33.59.
Although FCTR has an excellent technical rating, the quality of the presented setup is not ideal 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.
