Trading Expectations (PRLB) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 28th

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 28th we expect Proto Labs Inc to open at $77.96, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $76.29 and $78.99, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$2.71 (+/-3.55%) up or down from last closing price. If Proto Labs Inc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.55% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $78.74 (1.42%) than the support at $75.18 (3.17%), 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.
