From a technical perspective, Hummingbird shares bounced off the 20p support level yesterday and are headed higher at the moment. Traders with a bullish bias should wait for the stock to cross above the 24p level before opening new positions.
Hummingbird Resources shares could also drop back to retest the 20p support level, which is likely to hold, creating an excellent bullish trade setup.
The miner’s fundamentals are quite promising as it moves ahead with exploring the Kouroussa Gold Project in Guinea, and the Dugbe Gold Project in Liberia, while operating the Yanfolila Gold Mine in Mali, which supports the bullish thesis.
