Taking everything into account, LAC scores 6 out of 10 in our technical rating. In the last year, LAC was an average performer in the market. There are positive signs in the very recent evolution, but the medium term picture is still mixed.
LAC 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.
In the last month LAC has a been trading in the 3.70 - 4.39 range, which is quite wide. It is currently trading in the middle of this range where prices have been consolidating recently, this may present a good entry opportunity, but some resistance may be present above.
The long and short term trends are both neutral. This gives a pretty neutral overall picture!
When compared to the yearly performance of all other stocks, LAC outperforms 69% of them, which is more or less in line with the market.
LAC is part of the Metals & Mining industry. There are 795 other stocks in this industry, LAC did better than 45% of them.
LAC has only a medium technical rating, but it does show a decent setup pattern. We see reduced volatility while prices have been consolidating in the most recent period. There is very little resistance above the current price. There is a support zone below the current price at 3.98, a Stop Loss order could be placed below this zone. We notice that large players showed an interest for LAC in the last couple of days, which is a good sign. Very recently a Pocket Pivot signal was observed. This is another positive sign.
