Chart Patterns

Ascending Triangle

Pattern Description:

In an ascending triangle, one trendline is drawn horizontally at a level that has historically prevented the price from heading higher, while the second trendline connects a series of increasing troughs. Traders enter into long positions when the price of the asset breaks above the top resistance. An ascending triangle is generally considered to be a continuation pattern, meaning that it is usually found amid a period of consolidation within an uptrend. Once the breakout occurs, buyers will aggressively send the price of the asset higher, usually on high volume. The most common price target is generally set to be equal to the entry price plus the vertical height of the triangle.

Detecting deterministic dynamics in stock prices

by Tim Straiton
It may appear odd to many investors, but stocks that are less volatile than their counterparts have historically produced comparable or better returns. However our analysis of stocks which display long periods of deterministic dynamics perform much better than those which tend to trend sideways over long periods. We have applied the MACD-V indicator from Alex Spiroglou to scan the S&P500 stocks over 100 days.  We wanted to see how many days constituent stocks traded outside the...

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.
