On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $137.07 and $136.53. 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.

The Granite Construction Incorporated stock is extremely overbought on RSI14 (76). Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity but since the stock has broken the trend up, the chance for a major correction due to high RSI is very small as the stock will find support at the trend broken.

Our recommended stop-loss: $154.81 (-3.48%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. The RSI14 is 76 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 24 days ago.)
