ATKR Signals & Forecast
The Atkore International Group stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. 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. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $184.98 and $165.76. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, February 20, 2024, and so far it has risen 33.49%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal.

Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Atkore International Group stock
On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $161.03 and $148.61. 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, Atkore International Group finds support just below today's level at $161.03. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $148.61 and $147.88.
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 $5.65 between high and low, or 3.05%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 2.38%.
The Atkore International Group stock is overbought on RSI14 and lies in the upper part of the trend. Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity for the short-term trader, but some stocks may go long and hard while being overbought. Regardless, the high RSI together with the trend position increases the risk and higher daily movements (volatility) should be expected. A correction down in the nearby future seems very likely and it is of great importance that the stock manages to break the trend before that occurs.
Our recommended stop-loss: $183.81 (-3.44%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. The RSI14 is 78 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 27 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (ATKR) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 1st
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 1st we expect Atkore International Group to open at $189.01, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $185.33 and $195.39, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$5.03 (+/-2.64%) up or down from last closing price. If Atkore International Group takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 5.29% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
With no resistance above and support from accumulated volume @ $161.03, some $29.33 (15.41%) from the current price of $190.36, our system finds the risk reward attractive.
