During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.50% from a day low at $59.31 to a day high of $60.20. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 3.94% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 11 thousand more shares were traded than the day before.

The stock lies in the upper part of a strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break-up at the top trend line at $60.74 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 18.58% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $67.77 and $72.03 at the end of this 3-month period.

Trading Expectations (MBWM) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 3rd

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 3rd we expect Mercantile Bank Corporation to open at $59.86, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $59.21 and $60.95, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.74 (+/-2.93%) up or down from last closing price. If Mercantile Bank Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.93% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $60.33 (0.42%) than the support at $59.68 (0.67%), 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.
