Lockheed Martin Corp Bearish Signal Daily EMA Cross
As highlighted in my previous chart, there was an indication of behind-the-scenes pressure on Lockheed Martin to collaborate with the government, particularly considering its involvement in special projects over the last 70+ years. However, recent market sentiment and technical analysis reveal a an added divergence from this narrative.
Initial Problems: (Market Structure & Behind the scenes influence)
The current market structure demonstrates a significant BEARISH trend, as evidenced by a Daily EMA crossover. This trend is further accentuated by aggressive stock offloading, pushing the price down to $431.65. A BEARISH FVG, which I initially underestimated, has now become a pivotal factor in the selling pressure.
Recent statements from government officials and whistleblowers, along with anticipated video evidence, are expected to substantiate claims and intensify market sentiment. Consequently, the immediate target seems to be the previous support level at $397.77, considering the FVG liquidity range of $402.42 to $431.65 has already been factored in during the prior bullish movement and we have a definite bearish signal from the Daily crossing of the EMA.
Additional Problems: (Public)
According to recent reports from Reuters, Lockheed Martin forecasted its 2024 profit to be lower than Wall Street expectations. This outlook is officially considered as being primarily attributed to supply chain disruptions impacting its largest aeronautics segment, including the F-35 jets. These disruptions, is claimed as being partly a result of the pandemic, have notably affected the production rate and resulted in a decrease in net sales from the F-35 program by $275 million in the fourth quarter compared to the previous year.
Final payments for some F-35s are delayed due to the need for testing and approval of a software update on recently built jets. This delay, along with the broader impact of supply chain issues, has contributed to the recent downturn in Lockheed Martin's stock price.
Basically and officially, the current bearish trend in Lockheed Martin's stock is not only a reflection of market sentiment and technical factors but is also deeply influenced by fundamental challenges such as supply chain disruptions and delayed revenues from key projects like the F-35 program. Silently, it is quite a different story. Which problem is of greater importance and affecting the market sentiment? Is this the only time there have been delays and have they produced the same type of price action? The chart never lies and is quite telling of which of the problems is of greater importance.
