Trading Expectations (ACNT) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 11th

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 11th we expect Ascent Industries Co. to open at $15.58, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $15.40 and $15.80, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.407 (+/-2.65%) up or down from last closing price. If Ascent Industries Co. takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.65% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $15.61 (0.06%) than the support at $14.47 (7.24%), 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.
