VANGUARD SMALL-CAP ETF (VB) Stock Technical Analysis
NYSEARCA:VB - NYSE Arca - US9229087518 - ETF - Currency: USD
We assign a technical rating of 6 out of 10 to VB. In the past year, VB was only an average performing stock in the market. The medium term picture is unclear, although we see some positive events in recent action.
The short term trend is positive, while the long term trend is neutral. So this is evolving in the right direction.
VB 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.
VB has an average volume of 1312140 traded shares per day. This is a good sign as it is always nice to have a liquid stock.
When comparing the performance of all stocks over the past year, VB turns out to be only a medium performer in the overall market: it outperformed 45% of all stocks.
VB 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 VB is lagging the market slightly.
VB has an average technical rating and it also 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.
