US92686J1060 - Common Stock
We assign a technical rating of 9 out of 10 to VKTX. This is due to a consistent overall performance, although we see some doubts in the very recent evolution. In the medium time frame things are still looking good.
Considerably lower volume is observed in the last couple of days, which is not what you would like to see during a strong up movement.
The short term is neutral, but the long term trend is still positive. Not much to worry about for now.

VKTX has an average volume of 7148970 traded shares per day. This is a good sign as it is always nice to have a liquid stock.
VKTX 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 VKTX is lagging the market slightly.
In the last month VKTX has a been trading in the 61.64 - 82.00 range, which is quite wide. It is currently trading in the middle of this range, so some resistance may be found above.
Although VKTX has an excellent technical rating, it does not offer a high quality setup at the moment. Prices have been extended to the upside lately. For a nice entry it is better to wait for a consolidation.
