Technical Outlook
Looking at the weekly chart, one could notice that the stock is quite volatile, which can be seen by erratic movements after every few weeks (marked by a white ellipse). In December 2017, the stock made its 7-year high of $0.095, which continues to be the highest price level registered in the past seven years, as on 29th May 2019.
After making the top, the stock started to fall, which is not surprising, given the volatile nature of the stock. Further, in the next couple of days, the stock witnessed more price correction and the stock settled at a level of A$0.036 in June 2018.

After one week of this low, the stock price recovered quite fast in the next week, providing a return of more than 45% from the previous weekâs closing. This move increased the possibility of the bottom confirmation at A$0.036, however post couple of weeks, the stock gapped down to a new low of A$0.032 and again in a couple of weeks opened gap up and surpassed the previous 45% move quite comfortably. In Mach 2019, another erratic move was witnessed.
This kind of volatile nature makes the analysis more difficult as one big move on either of the direction can defy the existing technical outlook. However, considering the nearest support zone around A$0.036 â A$0.032, the stock may take support and continue to consolidate before commencing a new trend.
Stock Performance:
The company has a market capitalisation of A$10.66 million, and the stock had touched a 52-week high and low of A$0.08 and A$0.032 respectively.
