Trading Expectations (QQEW) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 23rd

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 23rd we expect First Trust NASDAQ-100 Equal Weighted Index Fund to open at $156.51, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $154.76 and $158.00, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$3.24 (+/-2.09%) up or down from last closing price.
