Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. Company’s  Comments

“We are very sorry for any disappointment this delay causes, but we are firm believers in delivering a game only when it is ready.

TTWO Technical Analysis

TTWO opened trading yesterday at $68.60 which was up from the previous day’s trading close of $67.58. TTWO closed trading yesterday at $69.04 and crashed down after market to $62.90, equivalent to a 9% decrease from the closing price.

Taking a look at the daily chart we can see the last time TTWO traded below these levels we have to go back to April 28th when it traded at  $62.85. Taking a closer look at the daily chart we can see that before the spike down TTWO had  been in an overall upward trend dating back to October 13th, 2016 when it traded at $42.35. TTWO has a float of 89.66 million shares and traded 2.14 times the normal daily trading volume on Monday.

For day trading purposes, I would like to see TTWO open trading on Tuesday below $65.00 and if it does I would be looking to take a short position at the bell. My stop loss would be $0.35 from my entry position fearing anything more than that and the stock would start to fill in the gap down.
