Investors are currently sidelined due to the Memorial Day holiday but will return to their desks today. Looking back over the previous session Friday: after finishing Thursday at $200.87, the aircraft manufacturer went up by 1.37% Friday and remained at the $203.63 level.
United States Consumer Confidence data will be released today at 14:00 UTC, with an expected decline to 99.
Trend-focused traders would be interested to note that Boeing made an initial breakout above its 10 day Simple Moving Average at $203.26, a potential indicator of a newly emerging bullish phase. Price action remains constrained around the key Fibonacci level of $203.51 currently serving as resistance. If broken, the next Fib hurdle is expected to be $205.77. Asset volatility analysis shows that Boeing's upper Bollinger Band® is at $207.74, this is a slight indication of a slowdown. Chart analysis indicates although Boeing is appreciating today after rising as high as $204.8, price action is now slowing and consolidating around $1.6 below the $205.23 resistance level.
Overall, while Boeing has been on an uptrend, technical indicators suggest that it has no obvious direction for the immediate future.
