Trading Expectations (CRS) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 24th
For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 24th we expect Carpenter Technology Corporation to open at $598.93, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $590.33 and $612.75, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$22.42 (+/-3.80%) up or down from last closing price.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $607.03 (0.91%) than the support at $591.78 (1.62%), 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.
