| HCP Crosses Technical IndicatorBy Dividend Channel Staff, Tuesday, December 27, 11:27 AM ET
In trading on Tuesday, shares of HCP, Inc. (NYSE:HCP) entered into overbought territory, changing hands as high as $41.60 per share. We define overbought territory using the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which is a technical analysis indicator used to measure momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be overbought if the RSI reading rises above 70. In the case of HCP, Inc., the RSI reading has hit 71.0 — by comparison, the universe of dividend stocks covered by Dividend Channel currently has an average RSI of 56.3. Investors could look at HCP's 71.0 reading as a sign that the recent heavy buying is in the process of winding down, which could bring a pullback in the stock. The chart below shows the one year performance of HCP shares:
Looking at the chart above, HCP's low point in its 52 week range is $28.76 per share, with $41.61 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $41.60. Among the fundamental datapoints dividend investors should investigate to decide if they are bullish on HCP is its dividend history.
