New York, February 7th (TradersHuddle.com) - Shares of E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Co. (NYSE:DD) are trading very close to calculated resistance at $52.31 with the current price action closing at just $51.78 placing the stock near levels that make it difficult to buy.

E. I. Du Pont de Nemours and Company (NYSE:DD) is a global chemical and life sciences company, with businesses that include agriculture and industrial biotechnology, chemistry, biology, materials science and manufacturing. The Company operates globally and offers a wide range of products and services for markets including agriculture and food, building and construction, electronics and communications.

DuPont's current stock range is defined by current calculated support defined at $43.06 and by the resistance level at $52.31, the stock is clearly over-extended from support, making it difficult to establishing new long positions at this level.

Traders don't have a clear entry point for DuPont, as the stock is well above support, however, as the stock pulls back towards $43.06 it will definitely provide a reference point to establish a trade. On the other hand if the stock decides to break above resistance level at $52.31 then traders will get an opportunity to enter DuPont stock by establishing a position as the stock moves to a higher range.
