Is Eaton Attempting a Breakout?

NYSE:ETN   Eaton Corporation, PLC
Eaton has flirted with record highs, and some traders may be looking for a breakout.

The first pattern on today’s chart is the price level around $175 where ETN peaked in late 2021. The industrial stock inched above the peak in March before pulling back. In the process, it made a higher quarterly low (for the fourth straight quarter). That tightening price action could suggest investors are willing to buy at increasingly higher prices.

Second, previous dips brought the shares below their 50-day simple moving average (SMA). But this month they managed to bounce at that line – a potential sign of the intermediate-term trend improving.

Third, earnings have beaten estimates for the last several quarters.

Finally, the 8-day exponential moving average (SMA) crossed above the 21-day EMA about a month ago and has remained there since. That may indicate the shorter-term trend is bullish again.
