Trading Expectations (FRA) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 1st
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 1st we expect Blackrock Floating Rate Income Strategies Fund Inc to open at $12.96, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $12.80 and $13.04, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.122 (+/-0.94%) up or down from last closing price.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $12.99 (0.54%) than the support at $12.81 (0.85%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
Is Blackrock Floating Rate Income Strategies Fund Inc stock A Buy?
Blackrock Floating Rate Income holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate.
