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 45% 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 $149.7 — 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 was turned away at a ceiling near $140.78 about 2 weeks ago and has been sliding since. On the weekly chart, the next floor below sits near $105.62 — still about 10% away.

  • Traders commonly watch $105.62 as a target (its 38.2% retracement) — think of it as a sensible next stop, not a guarantee.
  • That floor is the first place the slide might steady — worth watching how price behaves as it gets there.
  • There's nothing to act on here — the spot to watch was the $140.78 ceiling about 2 weeks ago, when price was turned away there, but price has already pulled lower. What's left is the slide playing out, not a fresh starting point.
