The stock has support levels at $43.1, $40.0, and $38.9, and resistance at $44.1. Given the current ATR of 0.83, representing a 1.88% daily price movement, it is likely that the stock will continue to trade within a narrow range in the short term.

Using both technical and fundamental data, a forecast for Verizons stock can be made. With a P/E ratio of 10.32 and a forward P/E of 9.25, the stock appears to be undervalued. Additionally, the companys RoE of 18.12 indicates strong profitability.
