We assign a technical rating of 9 out of 10 to NHC. This is due to a consistent performance in both the short and longer term time frames. Also compared to the overall market, NHC is showing a nice and steady performance.
Although NHC has an excellent technical rating, it 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.
