The strategy of buying CHCT shares after they reach a recent high and holding for 1 week resulted in poor performance over the past 5 years. The strategy yielded a return of -47.87%, significantly underperforming the benchmark return of 57.98%. With an excess return of -105.84% and a CAGR of -23.33%, the strategy faced substantial losses and did not capitalize on market gains. Additionally, the strategy had a high maximum drawdown of -57.33%, indicating significant volatility, and a Sharpe ratio of -0.88, suggesting that the risk-adjusted returns were unfavorable.

Recent technical analysis and stock forecasts have highlighted several key factors influencing CHCT's stock price. On June 23, 2025, the stock showed positive signals, including buy signals from both short and long-term moving averages, as well as a buy signal from the 3-month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). However, there is a divergence observed due to falling volume despite rising prices, which could indicate potential changes in the stock's trajectory.

The stock has broken a wide and falling short-term trend upwards, suggesting an early signal of a trend shift. This upward movement is significant as it indicates a potential reversal in the stock's recent downward trend. The stock is predicted to open at $16.91 on June 24, 2025, with a trading interval of $16.65 to $17.41. However, the stock is closer to the resistance level than the support level, which may affect the risk/reward attractiveness for intraday trading.

The overall recommendation for CHCT is to hold or accumulate, as there are not enough signals to classify it as a buy candidate at the current level. The analysis has been upgraded from a Sell to a Hold/Accumulate candidate, reflecting the mixed signals and the need for further confirmation before making a definitive call on the stock's direction. Investors should closely monitor the stock's performance and volume to gauge its future movements.
