New York, July 11th (TradersHuddle.com) - Shares of Vulcan Materials Company (NYSE:VMC) are trading very close to calculated resistance at $41.84. The stock ended the trading session at just $40.50, which is near levels that make it difficult to buy or start a position.

Vulcan Materials Company (NYSE:VMC) produces construction aggregates. The Birmingham, Alabama based company principal product lines are aggregates, asphalt mix and concrete, and cement.

Vulcan's stock range is defined by its calculated support defined at $32.81 and by the resistance level at $41.84; the stock is clearly over-extended from support, making it harder for participants to establish fresh longs.

Traders don't have a clear entry point for Vulcan . However, as the stock pulls back towards $32.81 it will definitely provide a reference point to establish a trade. On the other hand, if the stock breaks above its resistance level at $41.84 then traders will get an opportunity to enter the stock as it moves to a higher range.
