MTX Signals & Forecast
The Minerals Technologies Inc stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock, but the stock has a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $71.88 and $73.02. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, March 27, 2024, and so far it has fallen -3.91%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Minerals Technologies Inc stock
On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $69.18 and $68.46.

Trading Expectations (MTX) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 29th
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 29th we expect Minerals Technologies Inc to open at $75.03, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $71.88 and $75.52, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.82 (+/-2.47%) up or down from last closing price. If Minerals Technologies Inc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.93% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $74.05 (0.47%) than the support at $69.18 (6.13%), 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.
