Front Right Brake Squeel

My front right wheel ,I'm guessing the brake, is squeeling on and off. It will be squeeling when I am moving but it will stop sometimes. Is this the brakes? Could there be something stuck that is causing this noise? Or is there something else that it could be.
I am planning on taking it apart tomorrow,so what should I be looking for?

i had a similar problem, but mine was due to the rotor shield touching the rotor. i just got a long screwdriver and kinda pushed the shield back and the noise stopped.

Is that the piece that surrounds most of the rotor from the back? Was it obvious when you looked for the problem?

It could be the brake sensor on the brake pads if you haven't changed those in a wheel. When the brake pads wear down, the metal piece touches the rotor to let you know you have to change your brakes. Just something to check out!
