We assign a technical rating of 7 out of 10 to SYF. In the past year, SYF was one of the better performing stocks in the market. The medium term picture became unclear, although we see some improvement happening in recent action.
The short term trend is positive, while the long term trend is neutral. So this is evolving in the right direction.
SYF is currently showing a bull flag pattern! A bull flag pattern occurs when prices pull back slightly after a strong rise up. This may be a nice opportunity for an entry.
SYF has an average volume of 5025040 traded shares per day. This is a good sign as it is always nice to have a liquid stock.
Looking at the yearly performance, SYF did better than 87% of all other stocks. However, this overall performance is mostly based on the strong move around 7 months ago.

SYF is currently trading in the middle of its 52 week range. The S&P500 Index however is trading in the upper part of its 52 week range, so SYF is lagging the market slightly.
Although SYF has an excellent technical rating, the quality of the presented setup is not ideal 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.
