Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Lockheed Martin stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $568.59 and $510.95. 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. In this case, Lockheed Martin finds support just below today's level at $568.59. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $510.95 and $507.40.

This stock has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the stock moved $14.76 between high and low, or 2.49%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 2.33%.

The Lockheed Martin stock is extremely overbought on RSI14 (82). 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: $582.89 (-3.36%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. The RSI14 is 82 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 14 days ago.)
