Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Watsco Inc stock
On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $440.60 and $404.20. There is a natural risk involved when a stock is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the stock then may fall to the next support level. In this case, Watsco Inc finds support just below today's level at $440.60. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $404.20 and $384.17.
This stock has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the stock moved $6.91 between high and low, or 1.46%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.79%.
The Watsco Inc stock is extremely overbought on RSI14 (94). Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity but since the stock has broken the trend up, the chance for a major correction due to high RSI is very small as the stock will find support at the trend broken.
Our recommended stop-loss: $464.31 (-3.12%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. The RSI14 is 94 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 15 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (WSO) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 13th
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 13th we expect Watsco Inc to open at $477.14, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $468.70 and $489.82, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$10.56 (+/-2.20%) up or down from last closing price. If Watsco Inc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.41% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
With no resistance above and support from accumulated volume @ $440.60, some $38.66 (8.07%) from the current price of $479.26, our system finds the risk reward attractive.
