The thing about Lockhead Martin is that most of their profit comes from government defense contracts = US kicking someone's ass. So the stock does not follow so much the rest of the market.
*If you don't care about fundamentals skip the next part*
Namely, while most stocks have encountered a technical resistance of the various high levels of this bear market and began a sell off this week. LMT did not care. The stock pushed higher and drew a red candle only on Friday, when the rest of the markets (twitter especially) were filling up their pants. The reason for that is the fact that the stock price did not recover in 2009. The reason was that the US government while saving money did not give LMT business. (Not going to produce rockets and aircraft while the people still remember the recession).
Instead the company got their business back in late 2012. So their ascending pattern was drawn then, and it was holding long.... very long... until recently it broke the patterns resistance, which began to provide support. (bold yellow lines).
In my opinion the LMT held and gained because Trump kept pushing the US Congress into keeping defense spending unchanged = not taking business away from LMT. So if they approve no changes or an increase to the military LMT will still produce profits in the upcoming years. + they beat their earnings last week.
*continue here*
The stock price is trading in a medium ascending pattern (purple lines). The upper trend line of the pattern has not been yet touched, but, if one uses it to draw Fibonacci retracement levels, then they confirm a point on the medium term patterns trend line as a high point.
However, there exist junior patterns to the mentioned channel. To be exact, there are two of them (black lines).
In general, to keep it short! Price hit resistance of dominant up channel, formed a junior downard pattern, which is set to meet the dominant one's support. Afterwards, it remains to be seen, whether the support gets passed or forces a new rebound, which reaches the upper trend line of the previously mentioned long term ascending pattern.
P.S. There is loads of stuff in regards to LMT that is very particular just to it, but I like this stock as my "Lord of War" or "Murder Money." So feel free to ask questions and comment.
Yours sincerely,
Y

It is piercing through the Fibos as expected..

From a fundamental perspective LMT still moves due to the approved US budget, as they are set for profits.
From a technical, the 200-hour SMA is the suport pushing the stock price from one Fibo to another.

I am considering cashing out of this tomorrow, as soon as it reaches the blue line. Because, if that resistance holds, no more to gain for short term bulls here.

Here is the outlook now. Fibos, which have been pierced and a short term channel down, which represents the profit taking occuring..

Too bad it noticed that decline too late.
Btw I am still long term long on it. (meaning until end of June)

WHY!? WHY? WHY DIDN'T I take profit at the end of February?!
Ok..to be serious.. the 23.60% Fibo held the ground for LMT. Although, it did go into the dumping on Monday.
