Trading Expectations (GAP) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 11th

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 11th we expect The Gap, Inc. to open at $21.23, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $21.18 and $21.84, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.670 (+/-3.16%) up or down from last closing price. If The Gap, Inc. takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.16% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $21.56 (0.23%) than the support at $21.15 (1.67%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
