Warning: WSTG has an average volume of 12046 traded shares per day. This is quite low and it might be dangerous to invest in illiquid stocks.
The short term trend is positive, while the long term trend is neutral. So this is evolving in the right direction.

In the last month WSTG has a been trading in the 26.01 - 31.60 range, which is quite wide. It is currently trading near the high of this range.
When comparing the yearly performance of all stocks, we notice that WSTG is one of the better performing stocks in the market, outperforming 90% of all stocks. However, this overall performance is mostly based on the strong move around 7 months ago.
WSTG is currently trading in the middle of its 52 week range. The S&P500 Index however is currently trading near new highs, so WSTG is lagging the market.
Considerably lower volume is observed in the last couple of days.
Although WSTG has an excellent technical rating, it 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.
