There are mixed signals in the stock today. The Hercules Capital Inc stock holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal.

A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal.

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 16th we expect Hercules Capital Inc to open at $15.57, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $15.33 and $15.65, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.316 (+/-2.06%) up or down from last closing price.
