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.

Trading Expectations (LWAY) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Wednesday 24th
For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 24th we expect Lifeway Foods to open at $20.34, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $19.14 and $21.80, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.33 (+/-6.48%) up or down from last closing price. If Lifeway Foods takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 12.95% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $21.02 (2.69%) than the support at $17.51 (14.46%), 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.
