Technical Analysis

Longer Term Trading Plans for MPC
  • Buy MPC near 357.18 target n/a stop loss @ 356.15. Details
  • The technical summary data tells us to buy MPC near 357.18, but there is no current upside target from the summary table. In this case we should wait until either an update to the summary table has been made (which usually happens at the beginning of every trading day), or until the position has been stopped. The data does tell us to set a stop loss 356.15 to protect against excessive loss in case the stock begins to move against the trade. 357.18 is the first level of support below 395.93, and by rule, any test of support is a buy signal. In this case, if support 357.18 is being tested, a buy signal would exist.

  • NONE . Details
  • NONE .
    There are no current resistance levels from the summary table, and therefore there are no Short resistance Plans which tell us to short upon tests of resistance. Resistance levels have broken higher and unless the stock reverses lower and below support levels again short positions look risky.

Swing Trading Plans for MPC
  • Buy MPC slightly over 401.34, target 413.62, Stop Loss @ 400.18 Details
  • If 401.34 begins to break higher, the technical summary data tells us to buy MPC just over 401.34, with an upside target of 413.62. The data also tells us to set a stop loss @ 400.18 in case the stock turns against the trade. 401.34 is the first level of resistance above 395.93, and by rule, any break above resistance is a buy signal. In this case, 401.34, initial resistance, would be breaking higher, so a buy signal would exist. Because this plan is based on a break of resistance, it is referred to as a Long Resistance Plan.

  • Short MPC slightly near 401.34, target 357.18, Stop Loss @ 402.5. Details
  • The technical summary data is suggesting a short of MPC if it tests 401.34 with a downside target of 357.18. We should have a stop loss in place at 402.5 though in case the stock begins to move against the trade. By rule, any test of resistance is a short signal. In this case, if resistance, 401.34, is being tested a short signal would exist. Because this plan is a short plan based on a test of resistance it is referred to as a Short Resistance Plan.
