Advance meets resistance as bearish setup persists below key averages

Price is sitting right at resistance from the weekly high at $111.01. Shares of Granite Construction have advanced to this area despite continuing to trade below their MA-20, MA-50, and MA-200, keeping the broader daily chart in a bearish posture. Stoch RSI is nearing overbought territory, suggesting the current advance could be getting stretched as buyers test the upper boundary.

Odds tilt to the downside as traders watch for a close above resistance

To gauge whether this move is being fully reflected in price, traders should watch for a close above $111.01 to show buyers are willing to follow through. The session opened with a gap up from the previous close of $108.38 to $109.59, highlighting increased interest at the open. Even so, over the next five trading days, there is a 27% probability of upside versus 73% downside, with an expected trading range between $107.55 and $113.4. A drop below $104.47 would show the move is being faded. On the weekly chart the longer-term picture stays firmly negative.

In a recent review, analysts noted that Granite Construction was exhibiting persistent bearish momentum with limited prospects for a near-term reversal. The current move toward key resistance provides an important inflection point, with a close above $111.01 serving as a signal for any potential shift in the prevailing negative outlook.
