Trading Expectations (MKL) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Wednesday 12th

For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 12th we expect Markel Corporation to open at $1,958.75, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $1,900.19 and $1,990.99, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$45.40 (+/-2.33%) up or down from last closing price. If Markel Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.67% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $1,990.63 (2.31%) than the support at $1,774.07 (8.82%), 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.
