AWK Support and Resistance Levels

Price found a floor near $127.78 about 3 weeks ago and has been climbing since. On the weekly chart, the next ceiling overhead sits near $160.50 — still about 20% away.

  • Traders commonly watch $160.50 as a target (its 61.8% extension) — think of it as a sensible next stop, not a guarantee.
  • That ceiling is the first place the climb might pause — worth watching how price behaves as it gets there.
  • There's nothing to act on here — the spot to watch was the $127.78 floor about 3 weeks ago, when price bounced there, but price has already pulled higher. What's left is the climb playing out, not a fresh starting point.

Nearest auto-detected support sits near $128.14, resistance near $163.56. These are chart/swing-derived levels, not formula pivots.
