Falling Wedge · playing out now

NSC just broke higher out of a falling wedge — a brief, tidy pause inside a strong run. That's usually a breather before another push up.

On this chart, setups like it have followed through about 52% of the time.

As long as price stays above $297.4, the setup is intact — a daily close back below there is the cue to step away.

It's already reached the first target near $327.9 and is still going. From here, the calm way to follow the move is to stay with the 10-day average — and only step aside when a day finally closes below it.

NSC Support and Resistance Levels

Price is bouncing off a floor near $329.51 and starting to climb. On the weekly chart, the next ceiling overhead sits near $343.59 — about 4% away.

Traders commonly watch $343.59 as a target (its 161.8% extension) — think of it as a sensible next stop, not a guarantee.
That ceiling is the first place the climb might pause — worth watching how price behaves as it gets there.
There's nothing to act on yet — the spot to watch is right at the $329.51 floor, where price is testing it now, not out here in the climb. Chasing once price pulls away tends to be worse odds.
