Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $344.55 and $341.03. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development.

Trading Expectations (HD) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 10th
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 10th we expect Home Depot Inc (The) to open at $353.73, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $351.27 and $359.97, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$8.71 (+/-2.48%) up or down from last closing price. If Home Depot Inc (The) takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.48% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $357.90 (0.64%) than the support at $348.86 (1.90%), 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.
