Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $641.76 and $664.71. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals.

Trading Expectations (CMI) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 11th
For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 11th we expect Cummins Inc to open at $637.55, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $621.86 and $647.78, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$25.93 (+/-4.17%) up or down from last closing price.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $635.96 (0.18%) than the support at $632.98 (0.29%), 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.
