Trading Expectations (WBS) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 3rd

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 3rd we expect Webster Financial Corporation to open at $77.22, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $76.78 and $77.66, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.88 (+/-1.14%) up or down from last closing price. If Webster Financial Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.14% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $77.30 (0.10%) than the support at $76.63 (0.76%), 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.
