Texas Instruments Battles Historic Level
Texas Instruments is battling a long-term price line, and some traders may think the chipmaker is ready for a breakout.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the $202.26 level, its previous all-time high from almost three years ago. TXN approached this zone in late May before pausing. It tried again in July but fell along with the rest of the market. The stock crossed above it in late August and began September with a revisit below. However, it’s been surpassed in the last four sessions. Is resistance giving way?
Second, prices have bounced at the 100-day simple moving average (SMA). The 50-day SMA has also stayed above the 100-day SMA. Those patterns could suggest that a longer-term uptrend is in effect.
Third, our 2 MA Ratio custom script in the lower study shows the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) crossing above the 21-day EMA. That may suggest that a short-term uptrend is starting.
