The stockhas broken the wide and falling short-term trend up. Firstly a slower falling rate is indicated, but this may very well be an early signal of a trend shift. On the reaction, there will be support on the roof of the current trend broken, which is $268.80, a level that may pose a second chance to hit a runner. According to fan-theory $294.03 will be the next possible trend-top level and thereby pose a resistance level that may not be broken at the first attempt.

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 6th we expect Illinois Tool Works Inc to open at $270.95, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $270.09 and $275.43, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$5.34 (+/-1.98%) up or down from last closing price.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $273.13 (0.14%) than the support at $264.09 (3.18%), 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.
