On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $31.99 and $31.80. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals.

Trading Expectations (SLM) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 12th

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 12th we expect SLM Corporation to open at $31.57, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $30.86 and $32.50, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.82 (+/-2.59%) up or down from last closing price. If SLM Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 5.18% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $32.18 (1.58%) than the support at $29.70 (6.25%), 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.
