The Western Asset Municipal High Income Fund stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $6.82 and $6.94. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals.

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 3rd we expect Western Asset Municipal High Income Fund Inc to open at $6.80, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $6.74 and $6.84, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.104 (+/-1.55%) up or down from last closing price.
