Rising Wedge · playing out now

UAL is breaking out above a rising wedge — these usually break lower, so a push higher instead is a notably bullish turn.

On this chart, setups like it have followed through about 47% of the time.

As long as price stays above $101.8, the setup is intact — a daily close back below there is the cue to step away.

A natural first target sits near $149.3 — but moves like this often run further. The simple way to follow the rest is to stay with the 10-day average, and only step aside when a day closes below it.

UAL Support and Resistance Levels

Price found a floor near $121.52 about 4 weeks ago and has been climbing since. On the weekly chart, the next ceiling overhead sits near $153.93 — still about 16% away.

  • Traders commonly watch $153.93 as a target (its 200% 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 here — the spot to watch was the $121.52 floor about 4 weeks ago, when price bounced there, but price has already pulled higher. What's left is the climb playing out, not a fresh starting point.

Nearest auto-detected support sits near $119.45, resistance near $135.02. These are chart/swing-derived levels, not formula pivots.
