Trading Expectations (NOV) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 26th

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 26th we expect National Oilwell Varco Inc to open at $18.86, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $18.44 and $19.46, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.508 (+/-2.68%) up or down from last closing price. If National Oilwell Varco Inc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 5.36% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
