ATI Inc. ( ATI) (formerly Allegheny Technologies) has been climbing on the charts the past three years. Can the specialty metals producer go higher? Let's check the charts and indicators.
In this daily bar chart of ATI, below, I can see that prices bounced off the rising 200-day moving average line a number of times in the past 12 months. Traders obviously use technical analysis. Prices are above the 50-day line, too. The trading volume appears to be more active since November. The On-Balance-Volume (OBV) line shows a rise for the past year with a sideways move the past three months.
