Chart Patterns

Double Top

Pattern Description:

The double top is a major reversal pattern that forms after an extended uptrend. The pattern is made up of two consecutive peaks that are roughly equal, with a moderate trough in-between. As illustrated below, a double top consists of two well-defined, sharp peaks at approximately the same price level. A double top occurs when prices are in an uptrend. Prices rise to a resistance level, retreat, return to the resistance level again before declining. The two peaks should be distinct and sharp. The pattern is complete when prices decline below the lowest low in the formation. The lowest low is called the confirmation point.

The Pin Bar Candlestick Pattern

Technical Review

Northrop Grumman Corp (NOC) - A stock to watch

2026-05-25 by Tim Straiton

Northrop Grumman Corporation, headquartered in West Falls Church, Virginia, is an American aerospace and defense company that designs and manufactures systems for aeronautics, defense, missions, and space. The company is the 5th largest contractor of the U.S. federal government; it receives over 2% of total spending by the federal government of the United States on contractors. The company is ranked 110th on the Fortune 500 list of America's largest corporations. In 2024, 87% of the company's revenues came from the federal government of the United States, while 12% was from international sources.

After reaching a high of $774 in March 2026, this stock has followed a downward trajectory and is currently trading at $555. Various technical observations however, now implicate a period of consolidation. The 14 day relative strength index has negated the downward trend. The MACD-V indicator is currently in a highly oversold level of -150. The Bollinger bandwidth is now at a relatively low level which suggests that the recent downside momentum is exhausted. A break above the upper Bollinger band at $580 would attract buying interest.
