During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 0.755% from a day low at $25.10 to a day high of $25.29. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a 0.8% gain for the last 2 weeks.

Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Rlj Lodging Trust stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $24.23 and $25.07 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and stocks seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stocks turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners. Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.
