3-Month Forecast: Based on the technical and fundamental data, RCC is expected to maintain its current trading range with limited upside potential. The stocks low volatility (ATR: 0.15) suggests minimal price fluctuations. However, the lack of positive earnings and profitability metrics (RoE: -24.77%) raises concerns about long-term sustainability. The funds ability to maintain dividend payments and attract investors will depend on its operational performance and sector recovery. The 20-day and 50-day moving averages are likely to act as support levels, while the 200-day moving average may cap upside momentum.
