Trading Expectations (ARCB) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 1st
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 1st we expect ArcBest Corporation to open at $140.88, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $137.50 and $147.50, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$5.00 (+/-3.51%) up or down from last closing price. If ArcBest Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 7.02% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $142.86 (0.25%) than the support at $138.58 (2.75%), 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.
