Trend Analysis
The main view of this trade idea is on the 2-Hour Chart. The stock MPC appears to have broken out from a symmetrical triangle setup, with the resistance line making lower highs of 65.30 and 60.50 and the support line making higher lows of 50 and 53.30. The stock broke 2 levels of resistance, one at the resistance trend line of the symmetrical triangle and the other at a horizontal resistance level of 65.30. Expectations are for MPC to continue higher and test the 75 price level. If the pattern fails, MPC can decline back below the 65.30 resistance.
From a longer term perspective MPC is trending higher, with support observed around the 64.72 price level.
Technical Indicators
The technical indicators corroborate the bullish trending nature of MPC. The stock is trading above its short (50-MA), medium (100-MA) and long (200-MA) fractal moving averages. The RSI is above 50 and the KST just recently had a positive crossover.
Recommendation
The recommendation will be to go long at market, with a stop loss at 64.70 and a target of 75. This produces a risk/reward ratio of 1.75.
