Greg Harmon of Dragonfly Capital outlines several trading ideas on Honeywell based on technical signals on the daily chart.
Honeywell (HON) is consolidating at 58.50 after a gap higher on earnings July 18.
There is resistance higher at $61.10 to $61.50 before clear air higher. Support below is found at $56 and $55.10, followed by $54.60 and $52.80. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has moved into bullish territory, and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator (MACD) is positive and growing, both supporting further upside.
Adding further weight to the long case is the three-box reversal Point and Figure chart (PnF), which has a bullish price objective (PO) of 69. The only caution in this chart is the upper shadows as it consolidates. A move over the 58.50 area brings a Measured Move to 63.25.
