Gain Capital Holdings (GCAP) Stock Technical Analysis
NYSE:GCAP - New York Stock Exchange, Inc. -
We assign a technical rating of 5 out of 10 to GCAP. In the last year, GCAP was a medium performer in the overall market. The medium term is still looking fine, but we see some doubts in the very recent evolution.
The short term is neutral, but the long term trend is still positive. Not much to worry about for now.
GCAP 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 GCAP is performing more or less in line with the market.
When comparing the yearly performance of all stocks, we notice that GCAP is one of the better performing stocks in the market, outperforming 76% of all stocks. However, this overall performance is mostly based on the strong move around 4 months ago.
In the last month GCAP has a been trading in a tight range between 6.01 and 6.17.
Volume is considerably higher in the last couple of days.
GCAP 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.
