To review Northrop’s stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of NOC (Northrop Grumman Corporation) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of NOC (Northrop Grumman Corporation)
NOC has formed a solid resistance at $125 (blue), which would also be a 52-week high breakout if the stock could manage to close above it. In addition, the stock has been climbing a trendline of support (green). These two levels combined have NOC coiled within a common chart pattern known as an ascending triangle. At some point, the stock will eventually have to break one of those two levels.

The Tale of the Tape: NOC has an up trending support and a 52-week resistance level to watch. A long trade could be made on a close above the $125 resistance. A break below the up trending support could be an opportunity to enter a short trade.
