The stock is moving within a wide and horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Estee Lauder Companies Inc (The) stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $77.46 and $89.10 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and stocks seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stocks turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.

Trading Expectations (EL) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Wednesday 5th

For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 5th we expect Estee Lauder Companies Inc (The) to open at $85.78, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $85.59 and $88.35, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$2.77 (+/-3.23%) up or down from last closing price. If Estee Lauder Companies Inc (The) takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.23% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $87.58 (0.70%) than the support at $84.81 (2.48%), 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.

Several short-term signals are positive and we conclude that the current level may hold a buying opportunity, as there is a fair chance for Estee Lauder Companies Inc (The) stock to perform well in the short-term period.
