Trading Expectations (IIIN) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 4th

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 4th we expect Insteel Industries to open at $28.25, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $27.79 and $28.69, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.89 (+/-3.21%) up or down from last closing price. If Insteel Industries takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.21% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $28.51 (0.96%) than the support at $26.22 (7.15%), 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.
