Symmetrical Triangle · playing out now

YUM just broke higher out of a symmetrical triangle — 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 47% of the time.

As long as price stays above $141.9, the setup is intact — a daily close back below there is the cue to step away.

A natural first target sits near $170.5 — 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.

YUM Support and Resistance Levels

Price is bouncing off a floor near $145.22 and starting to climb. On the weekly chart, the next ceiling overhead sits near $184.49 — about 25% away.

  • Traders commonly watch $184.49 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 yet — the spot to watch is right at the $145.22 floor, where price is testing it now, not out here in the climb. Chasing once price pulls away tends to be worse odds.

Nearest auto-detected support sits near $147.48, resistance near $166.82. These are chart/swing-derived levels, not formula pivots.
