Trading Expectations (AWK) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 17th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 17th we expect American Water Works to open at $128.81, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $126.95 and $131.65, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$2.35 (+/-1.82%) up or down from last closing price. If American Water Works takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.64% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $130.77 (1.14%) than the support at $118.52 (8.34%), 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.
