We assign a technical rating of 7 out of 10 to W8A. In the last year, W8A was one of the better performers in the market. There are positive signs in the very recent evolution, but the medium term picture is slightly mixed.

Prices have been consolidating recently, but much resistance may still be present above.

W8A is part of the Consumer Staples Distribution & Retail industry. There are 22 other stocks in this industry. W8A outperforms 85% of them.
Both the short term and long term trends are neutral. So this is not the most entertaining stock around.
W8A is currently trading in the middle of its 52 week range. The S&P500 Index however is currently trading near new highs, so W8A is lagging the market.
Considerably lower volume is observed in the last couple of days.
Although W8A 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.
