NOC swing trade ideaNYSE:NOC reports on Thursday. It's still 15% off of its ATH. It's been in an uptrend and putting in HL and HH's this year. They beat on revenue and EPS last quarter. There have been a lot of down revisions to estimates, while NOC has a strong history of beating estimates.
I'm setting up for a short term trade that assumes a beat. Entry at $472. Targeting overhead resistance at the 200SMA and the top of the gap from the Jan 12 drop to take profit. Setting a stop at $462, which is 1 20 period ATR below the 0.382 of the current extension.

LMT Lockheed Martin Options Ahead Of EarningsIf you haven`t bought LMT here:
Then analyzing the options chain of LMT Lockheed Martin prior to the earnings report this week, I would consider purchasing
Calls with a 515usd strike price and an expiration date of 2023-6-16, for a premium of approximately $5.85.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.
I am interested to hear your thoughts on this strategy.
LMT - MyMI Option PlayLockheed Martin not only landed on a fundamental price level today (The price that it was at before Covid March 2020 Market Crash), but it also acquire roughly a $1B in Volume total, 2nd to JNJ. We like it for the continue concerned across seas that seem to be gaining more and more tension. Whether it's Ukraine/Russia or the worries in Asia, we will be looking to place some CALLs (ITM) to hold at least back to $458 to confirm that a Support to Resistance Conversion is not being completed.
If so, Lockheed could potentially lose support at the $440 Levels and move back down below the 410-420 Price Levels
Regardless, we will be playing options to create a new positioning moving forward.
LMT PullbackI sold off some of my long term LMT holdings last week before EOY to capture some capital gains. LMT was a big winner of 2022 up over 37% and price was stalling at the All Time High.
This morning I received an alert for an opening price spike that created a critical low at 469.35. This is not a spike I would take as a reversal to go long. Rather, I am watching to see if price breaks this low to signal a breakout short.
If the short breakout triggers I would look for a pullback to the 50% Retracement of the last earnings rally around 445.
Possible bullish setup on LMT Making a new idea because put the wrong symbol on the other on lol. Looks like a bull triangle could be forming on LMT, but Dividend payout is tomorrow Dec. 30th. Looking at previous payout dates the stock fluctuated $6-$8. Cautiously bullish until it breaks rising support for this triangle. Let me know what you think.

I have no idea about its fundamentals or technical or what exactly this stock does. I just know that #Aladdin indicator has a buy sign on the Monthly timeframe. It is not financial advice. I usually am clueless. And I am usually very very wrong.
Lockheed Martin Bull PennantThis is a monthly chart of the defense company Lockheed Martin (LMT).
As you can see, a bull pennant is appearing.
In my experience, I have found that the most valid bull flags or pennants usually retrace back to the Golden Ratio (0.618), then bounce and continue higher (see below chart).
When this occurs, the measured move up is typically one full Fibonacci spiral from this retracement level, which usually occurs over a period of time that is about the same as the period of time it took the bull flag or pennant to form (see below chart)
The above chart suggests that LMT could climb into the 500s or as high as about 600 by the second quarter of next year. The best time to enter a trade would probably be after the seasonal volatility ends, and after a breakout occurs on some lower timeframe.
From a regression standpoint, this bull pennant formed when price rose from the mean to the 1 standard deviation, and retraced to the 0.5 standard deviation. If it pans out, the measured move may reach one full standard deviation higher (to the 1.5 standard deviations). See below chart.

LMT - Similar Up ChannelsThe price movement with each channel is extremely similar
This leads me to the conclusion that price action following the channel end may also be similar
Price action after the first up channel was very bearish , therefore I can assume after the second up channel bearish movement can be considered
This is regardless of the channel being above or below the Major trend line in white
Lockheed Martin Corp - Still up over 30% in 2022On 7th March 2022, this company reached an all-time high of 479.99 USD. However, it struggled to move higher after that and started to exhibit choppy price action. Over the past few weeks, it formed a range within which it tends to move; this rectangle pattern spans between 429.32 USD and 449.58 USD. We will monitor the price action of LMT as we anticipate a breakout either to the upside or downside. If the breakout to the downside occurs, an interesting opportunity of shorting this stock may present itself as this stock is still up over 30% in 2022.
Technical analysis - daily time frame
RSI, MACD, and Stochastic are bullish. However, the trend lacks momentum. Overall, the daily time frame is neutral.
Illustration 1.01
Illustration 1.01 shows the setup for LMT with two alternative scenarios. A breakout above the short-term resistance will be bullish, while a breakout below the short-term support will be bearish.
Technical analysis - weekly time frame
Stochastic, RSI, and MACD are all bearish. DM+ and DM- are bullish. Overall, the weekly time frame is slightly bearish.

Lockheed Martin This is a long shot as the war is not over air warfare which is the specialty of Lockheed. However, the increase of its drone manufacturing capabilities could grant it a lot of governement contracts. If Putin boosts the Ukraine conflict from Special Operation to a declaration of War, I expect a lot of upside for Lockheed; specially Drone warfare division.
$LMT Lockheed Martin - Breakout, Retest, Bounce Candidate$LMT Lockheed Martin - Breakout, Retest, Bounce Candidate
Assuming $440 support level holds this week, monitor for a bounce toward $500 level medium term.
Medium Term Target: $500-$520 range by Q3'22
For an options play, I am looking to go long the Sep 16 22 $450 calls going for around $25.00 currently. If I was forming a spread to limit risk I would be selling the $500 calls with the same expiration. Or you could look at a calendar spread where you sell the $450 calls with an earlier expiration.
