AYI Signals & Forecast

The Acuity Brands Inc stock holds a sell signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the stock giving a positive forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately $351.59. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $315.19. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Acuity Brands Inc stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $305.51 and $296.22. 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, Acuity Brands Inc finds support just below today's level at $305.51. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $296.22 and $283.46.

This stock may move much during the day (volatility) and with a large prediction interval from the Bollinger Band this stock is considered to be "high risk". During the last day, the stock moved $8.82 between high and low, or 2.67%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 3.63%.

Our recommended stop-loss: $315.16 (-5.82%) (This stock has high daily movements and this gives high risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 6 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (AYI) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 10th

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 10th we expect Acuity Brands Inc to open at $334.65, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $327.23 and $342.05, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$14.82 (+/-4.53%) up or down from last closing price. If Acuity Brands Inc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.53% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $339.25 (1.38%) than the support at $305.51 (8.70%), 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.
