Feature Story
Technical Analysis
Boeing doesn’t need an introduction and even if you haven’t heard of them before, I’m sure you’ve heard about them in the news recently. Unfortunately not for good reasons. Today we’re going to try and look past that and just look at the charts and see if BA is in a prime spot for take off.
Take a look at the daily chart below. This chart shows nicely where BA has been stuck for the last five years. Leading up to 2020, BA was in a strong upward momentum and even made itself a great base in the $300 - $400 range. Unfortunately Covid brought the company crashing down and although it was able to recover a little bit, we still haven’t seen it return to its highs from six years ago.

As of writing this article (7/26/25), BA is sitting at $233.06 which is the higher end of where its been over the last five years. This is good. Sticking with the daily chart, take a look below and notice the resistance line I put in. Now you can put this resistance line in a few spots and I would agree with you but for the sake of my point, I feel like here around $242 is the best spot because this is the next resistance level that we’ve seen BA get rejected at multiple times in the past. This is a 4% rise from where BA is now.

If BA can make it to this level and past it, the next resistance I’m looking at is the high of the last five years and that’s at $278.57. That’s almost 20% from where BA is today. I wouldn’t expect that to happen overnight with a company like BA. However, BA has recently received large orders for their airplanes as well has earnings coming up on Tuesday, 7/29/25. With a positive earnings report, we could see BA propel past this tough resistance level that they’ve been stuck below for a while now.

A Final Note
BA is a company with multiple arms. They are most obviously in the business of making airplanes but also in the aerospace and defense sectors. There are many parts to this company to help them up but also bring them down. Keep an eye on their plane orders since this makes the biggest difference in their stock price. The earnings report on Tuesday is going to make or break their next leg up.
