Based on current trends, VIAV is expected to trade in a range of $9.80 to $11.20 over the next three months. The stock is currently trading above its 20-day SMA ($10.18) but below its 50-day ($10.84) and 200-day ($9.77) moving averages, indicating a bearish trend in the short term. The ATR of 0.44 suggests moderate volatility.
