$NYSE:RTX Rebound After a Healthy PullbackNYSE:RTX is currently in an uptrend, as evidenced by its strong upward movement, followed by a period of consolidation. This phase is crucial as it allows the stock to gather strength and form a stable base before potentially continuing its upward trajectory. The RSI indicates that the stock is approaching a neutral range, which suggests it is neither overbought nor oversold at this point. Given the overall trend and the current consolidation, it would be prudent to allow this phase to fully mature. This will provide a clearer indication of whether the stock is ready for a breakout or if it needs further time to stabilize before continuing its trend. Patience during this phase is key, I'm looking for a breakout beyond 121.40$ to reconsider a position.

Raytheon's innovative commercial satellite imagers, launched as part of Maxar's WorldView Legion, promise advanced imaging capabilities for various sectors. The article concludes with a bullish recommendation on Raytheon stock, suggesting long positions with entry at $102.59 targets ranging from $105.93 to $119.00, and a stop-loss at $93.01.

RTX falls on good earnings and defense budget issuesRTX is part of the boom defense sector thriving because of back orders created by the Russian war against Ukraine. No matter good earnings it fell this week because of the defense budget debate in Congress. No matter good intents to rein in the defend spending escalation and spend in other areas such as social and infrastructure, Russia has made the world more dangerous and national security of the US and its allies trumps most spending except perhaps insterest on the national debt and paying the holders of Treasuries. RTX dropped more than 10% from its tight consolidation range, I see this dip as an excellent buying opportunity into a leader in the defense sector.

DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS (Global Conflict Summary EDITION)Per the council of foreign relations, these are the following current global conflicts. I've included a brief description of each conflict. It's important to understand these if you're planning or already are investing in defense stocks. Per TA, I've labeled bearish price targets, bullish price targets, relevant trends. It looks overvalued from analysis on ITA, but there is upside. I'd say that short term probably favors bulls (talking maybe weeks if not less), mid term probably favors the bears (multiple months), long term will likely favor bulls, but it will depend on the movement we see over FEB and March. Global Conflict Summary Americas Criminal Violence in Mexico The criminal violence in Mexico involves various organizations such as Sinaloa, Los Zetas, Tijuana/AFO, Juárez/CFO, Beltrán Leyva, Gulf, La Familia Michoacana, the Knights Templar, and Cartel Jalisco Nuevo Generación (CJNG). The violence is attributed to the increase in crime rates and the limited interventions by the state and municipal police. Instability in Haiti The instability in Haiti involves the government, opposition parties, and the international community. The crisis revolves around the dispute over the presidential term and the government’s inability to control skyrocketing prices of commodities. Instability in Venezuela Venezuela is facing an unprecedented social and humanitarian collapse due to poor economic policies, political conflict, and the international community’s unsuccessful attempts to bring about positive change. The conflict involves the government under President Nicolás Maduro and opposition groups.

Extremism and intolerance of diversity and dissent have grown, threatening the country’s prospects for social cohesion and stability.

BOEING, CAN A 747 REACH THE MOON?meh, idk. probably not. Something is weird with defense stocks. I like the potential of the upside to see those gaps close. There is support on the bottom side. Gaps are closed on the bottom side. Indicators are turning to favor bulls. However, there may be some quick downside on these steep short term trends in red. Green Triangle is likely a long term buy zone, with potential to hit as low as 145. However, I have no idea if that is before or after 300+ After that, if we break that support trend (thickest green), watch out for the movement to 92. A movement like that would be similar to a covid drop and return. Earnings is likely to flip price action. Drop into earnings, and price targets hitting as support is a buy. Pump into earnings without breaking out over rejection trends, and rejection targets is a sell. Any feedback on the charts as far as simplicity to understand? Do you prefer candles or the line? I use candles to TA, but I've found better feedback with the line chart, which I'm happy to keep doing. Website update, idk which direction I want to head with it.

NOC WCA - Head and Shoulders PatternCompany: Northrop Grumman Ticker: NOC Exchange: NYSE Sector: Defense Introduction: Hello, and thank you for reading this analysis. Today, we focus on Northrop Grumman (NOC) on the NYSE. The weekly chart shows a potentially significant head and shoulders pattern that deserves our attention. Head and Shoulders Pattern: The head and shoulders pattern is a classic chart formation that can indicate either a bullish continuation or bearish reversal, depending on its orientation and the preceding trend. In this case, the pattern has formed over 441 days, making it noteworthy. Analysis: The NOC chart shows a clear uptrend, as demonstrated by the green upward sloping line and the position of the price above the 200 EMA. Both of these factors contribute to a bullish sentiment. However, the formation of the head and shoulders pattern introduces an element of uncertainty. The neckline of this pattern, which currently acts as support, is at 431.61. A break below this level could signal a bearish reversal, offering a potential shorting opportunity. On the other hand, a break above the right shoulder could indicate a continuation of the bullish trend. Given the existing uptrend and the position above the 200 EMA, the probabilities currently favor a continuation. Conclusion: In summary, Northrop Grumman's weekly chart presents a head and shoulders pattern within an uptrend, offering potential trading opportunities in both directions. Therefore, this is a chart to watch closely in the coming days. As always, it's important to manage your risk appropriately and ensure that any trading decisions align with your overall investment strategy.
