Though in the midst of a 4 day uptrend, gaining a total of 4.83%, ($10.82), The prevailing bullish trend is beginning to fade following Friday's downbeat session. The aircraft and rotorcraft manufacturer has recovered almost all of its session losses after dipping down to $215.69 Friday.
Trend-focused traders would be interested to note that the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) indicator is above +100, meaning the market price is unusually high compared to the rolling average. Friday's price action generated a Japanese candlestick pattern showing a Bearish Harami chart pattern, which is a means of predicting reversals in bull markets. When a Bearish Harami is detected at the top of a prevailing uptrend, it is typically considered a bearish signal and a prelude to a potential trend reversal. Asset volatility analysis shows that Boeing's upper Bollinger Band® is at $218.31 which indicates a further downward move may follow. Technical analysis of Boeing's past price action reveals multiple support and resistance levels: Boeing could begin to recover as it approaches significant support, now $1.7 away from $215.61. Dipping below could be an indication that further losses are ahead.
Notwithstanding Boeing's appreciation in recent days, the technical outlook suggests its bullish run is now fading.
