During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.82% from a day low at HK$374.40 to a day high of HK$381.20. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a 4.68% gain for the last 2 weeks.

The stock lies in the upper part of a wide and weak rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break-up at the top trend line at HK$386.56 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 4.95% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between HK$341.42 and HK$405.70 at the end of this 3-month period.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Yum China Holdings, Inc. stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at HK$343.00 and HK$339.20. 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, Yum China Holdings, Inc. finds support just below today's level at HK$343.00. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at HK$339.20 and HK$335.40.

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 HK$6.80 between high and low, or 1.82%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.90%.

The Yum China Holdings, Inc. stock is overbought on RSI14 and lies in the upper part of the trend. Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity for the short-term trader, but some stocks may go long and hard while being overbought and the RSI is still moving upwards. Regardless, the high RSI together with the trend position increases the risk and higher daily movements (volatility) should be expected. A correction down in the nearby future seems very likely, and it is of great importance that the stock manages to break the trend before that occurs.

Our recommended stop-loss: We hold a negative evaluation for this stock. No stop-loss is set.

Trading Expectations (9987.HK) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Wednesday 12th

For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 12th we expect Yum China Holdings, Inc. to open at HK$377.20, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between HK$371.02 and HK$380.98, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-HK$9.97 (+/-2.69%) up or down from last closing price. If Yum China Holdings, Inc. takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.69% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at HK$377.40 (0.37%) than the support at HK$343.00 (8.78%), 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.
