Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).

Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The stock should be watched closely.

Trading Expectations (ASH) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Wednesday 1st

For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 1st we expect Ashland Inc to open at $65.47, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $64.75 and $67.03, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$2.27 (+/-3.51%) up or down from last closing price. If Ashland Inc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.51% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $67.69 (2.73%) than the support at $63.94 (2.96%), 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.
