AATC Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, March 27, 2024, and so far it has risen 7.70%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Autoscope Technologies Corporation stock holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the stock giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at $6.59. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $6.54. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal. Volume fell along with the price during the last trading day which is technical positive. One should, however, note that this stock may have low liquidity in periods, which increases the general risk. The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Autoscope Technologies Corporation stock
Autoscope Technologies Corporation finds support from accumulated volume at $6.32 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.
In general the stock tends to have controlled movements and therefore the general risk is considered low. However, be aware of low or falling volume and make sure to keep an eye on the stock. During the last day, the stock moved $0.190 between high and low, or 2.91%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 6.22%.
Our recommended stop-loss: $6.24 (-5.03%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 25 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (AATC) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 3rd
For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 3rd we expect Autoscope Technologies Corporation to open at $6.61, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $6.29 and $6.85, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.277 (+/-4.21%) up or down from last closing price. If Autoscope Technologies Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 8.42% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $6.80 (3.50%) than the support at $6.32 (3.81%), 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.
