On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $50.68 and $49.19.

Trading Expectations (SON) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 16th

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 16th we expect Sonoco Products Company to open at $53.66, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $52.91 and $54.55, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.65 (+/-3.12%) up or down from last closing price. If Sonoco Products Company takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.12% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $55.73 (3.72%) than the support at $50.68 (5.68%), 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.
