IPATH SER B S&P 500 VIX M/T (VXZ) Stock Technical Analysis
NYSEARCA:VXZ - NYSE Arca - US06748M1889 - ETF - Currency: USD
Overall VXZ gets a technical rating of 7 out of 10. In the last year, VXZ was one of the better performers, but we do observe some doubts in the very recent evolution.
VXZ is currently showing a bear flag pattern! A bear flag pattern occurs when prices pull back slightly after a strong move down. This may present a good short opportunity.
Warning: VXZ has an average volume of 29841 traded shares per day. This is quite low and it might be dangerous to invest in illiquid stocks.
When comparing the yearly performance of all stocks, we notice that VXZ is one of the better performing stocks in the market, outperforming 88% of all stocks. On top of that, VXZ also shows a nice and consistent pattern of rising prices.
VXZ is part of the Banks industry. There are 396 other stocks in this industry. VXZ outperforms 81% of them.
The long term trend is positive and the short term trend is negative. It is probably better to wait until this picture becomes clearer.
VXZ 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 VXZ is lagging the market slightly.
Considerably lower volume is observed in the last couple of days.
Although VXZ has an excellent technical rating, it does not present a decent entry opportunity 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.
