American Water Works stock slips 0.4% as sellers seize control
Fading buy signal as sellers take control
Our view last week
American Water Works bounces off a double bottom in the 124 area, but volume isn't confirming it: buyers remain under 40% of trading activity and cash flow is mildly negative. The week just closed slipped 0.3%, and the structure stays bullish but soft. The stock reports quarterly earnings this very week, an event worth watching closely. The trade is three weeks in, sitting at a slight loss since entry.
This week's summary
Sellers took clear control of the last session on American Water Works stock, while buyers stayed on the sidelines: cash flow has turned negative and buy volume has collapsed under 2%. The week just closed slipped 0.4%, echoing the hesitation seen 7 days ago, when the bounce off the lows found no volume support. Earnings are now behind it, the gap risk has passed. The buy signal is 4 weeks in and fading, and this looks like a case for utility stocks under pressure right now.
