HAIN Technical Analysis
HAIN opened trading yesterday at $55.62 which was up from the previous days trading of $55.35. HAIN closed trading yesterday at $53.40 and crashed down after market to $40.89, equivalent to a 23% decrease from the closing price. Taking a look at the daily chart we can see the last time RUN traded below these levels was on March 28th when it traded at $40.29. Taking a closer look at the daily chart we can see that before the spike down HAIN had been in a upward trend dating back to January 25th when it traded at $33.46. HAIN has a float of 100.95 million shares and traded 1.85 times the normal daily trading volume on Monday. For trading purposes, I would like to see HAIN open trading on Tuesday below $45.00 and if it does I would be looking to take a short position at the bell. My stop loss would be $0.50 from my entry position fearing anything more than that and the stock would start to fill in the gap down.
