Technical Rating and Analysis

2

Taking everything into account, PSON scores 2 out of 10 in our technical rating. In the past year, PSON 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.

The short term trend is neutral, while the long term trend is still negative. We need to see a little more continued positive action to make this really interesting.
When comparing the yearly performance of all stocks, PSON is a bad performer in the overall market: 78% of all stocks are doing better.
PSON 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 PSON has a been trading in the 1049.00 - 1146.00 range, which is quite wide. It is currently trading in the middle of this range, so some resistance may be found above.
Considerably lower volume is observed in the last couple of days.

Setup Rating and Analysis

8

PSON has a bad 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 a resistance zone just above the current price starting at 1097.51. Right above this resistance zone may be a good entry point. There is a support zone below the current price at 1079.26, a Stop Loss order could be placed below this zone. We notice that large players showed an interest for PSON in the last couple of days, which is a good sign.
