Support, Risk & Stop-loss for FTI Consulting Inc stock
FTI Consulting Inc finds support from accumulated volume at $211.25 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.
In general the stock tends to have very controlled movements and with good liquidity the risk is considered very low in this stock. During the last day, the stock moved $17.17 between high and low, or 8.13%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 2.79%.
Since the FTI Consulting Inc has been rising for 6 days in a row, the risk over the next couple of days has increased. We don't expect a major reaction as the stock is in very good shape technically, and therefore hold a positive evaluation despite the very short term risk.
Our recommended stop-loss: $204.46 (-5.04%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 44 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (FCN) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 26th
For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 26th we expect FTI Consulting Inc to open at $218.32, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $210.68 and $219.94, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$4.63 (+/-2.15%) up or down from last closing price. If FTI Consulting Inc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.30% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $216.10 (0.37%) than the support at $211.25 (1.89%), 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.
