Technical indicators suggest more upside potential ahead for United Parcel Service (UPS), and Greg Harmon of Dragonfly Capital offers up four option ideas designed to capitalize on such a move.
United Parcel Service (UPS) is building a bull flag after a run higher out of consolidation near $77. It has a relative strength index (RSI) that is bullish and currently pointing higher, and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator is about to avert a bearish cross to negative with a glancing kiss. These support more upside potential ahead.

The measured move higher out of the flag takes UPS to $86.50, and there is no resistance along the way. The test lower last Thursday filled the open gap to support at $79 with further support lower at $77.25 and $76.
