For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 25th we expect STAAR Surgical Company to open at $48.24, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $45.66 and $49.98, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$2.16 (+/-4.51%) up or down from last closing price.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $48.68 (1.80%) than the support at $45.51 (4.83%), 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.
