Trading Expectations (WU) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 28th

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 28th we expect Western Union Co to open at $13.74, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $13.43 and $13.99, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.275 (+/-2.01%) up or down from last closing price. If Western Union Co takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.01% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $13.72 (0.07%) than the support at $13.55 (1.17%), 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.
