Taking everything into account, ATK scores 8 out of 10 in our technical rating. This is due to a decent performance in both the short and medium term time frames. Compared to the overall market, ATK is only an average performer.

In the last month ATK has a been trading in the 116.10 - 140.61 range, which is quite wide. It is currently trading near the high of this range.
Volume is considerably higher in the last couple of days, which is what you like to see during a strong movement up.
When comparing the yearly performance of all stocks, we notice that ATK is one of the better performing stocks in the market, outperforming 79% of all stocks. However, this overall good ranking is mostly due to the recent strong move.

Although ATK has an excellent technical rating, it does not present a decent entry opportunity at the moment. Price movement has been a little bit too volatile to find a nice entry and exit point. It is probably a good idea to wait for a consolidation first.
