On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $17.35 and $17.28. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals.

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 9th we expect Marten Transport to open at $17.19, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $16.93 and $17.43, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.494 (+/-2.92%) up or down from last closing price.
