Overall HBC gets a technical rating of 3 out of 10. In the past year, HBC was a below average performing stock in the market. The medium term picture is also negative, but we see some improvement happening in recent action.
When comparing the yearly performance of all stocks, HBC is a bad performer in the overall market: 76% of all stocks are doing better.
HBC is currently trading in the lower part of its 52 week range, which is not a good signal. Certainly not because the S&P500 Index is trading near new highs.
Both the short term and long term trends are neutral. So this is not the most entertaining stock around.
HBC is part of the Biotechnology industry. There are 70 other stocks in this industry, HBC did better than 62% of them.
In the last month HBC has a been trading in the 1.58 - 2.42 range, which is quite wide. It is currently trading in the middle of this range, so some resistance may be found above.
Volume is considerably higher in the last couple of days.
The technical rating of HBC is bad and it also does not present a 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.
