General Dynamics Corporation | GD

Daily Technical Analysis of General Dynamics Corporation

General Dynamics bobbled around today only ended up 0.69% since yesterday. It looks like GD may be interacting with a slightly angled resistance line. This area could represent a pivot point. In addition to being near an angled resistance line GD is near a weak resistance line. If there isn't strong buying pressure the price might bounce off and move back down, but it can always break through and move up. GD hasn't established a very clear directional momentum over the last few months. So it's not clear if it has the energy to break through or not.

If the price breaks through the resistance level it will probably move up to the $291.61 where it may meet further resistance. If the price does in fact bounce off here, it might find nearest support down at the $241.94 level, hard to say where it will go from there though.

How General Dynamics compares to the broader Industrials sector and the more specific Aerospace & Defense industry

Segment	Count	1 Day%	5 Day	1 Month	3 Month	6 Month	1 Year	RSI	3mo S-momo ? Smooth Momentum is our proprietary technical indicator that looks for momentum with the greatest consistency and steady velocity. We have penalized dramatic swings and fluctuations. If the momentum is too high and an asset spikes upward, this is often unreliable and collapses back down. But the smoothed momentum provides the highest probability of continuing into the near future with the same directional rate of change. Several complex factors are weighted by neural nets to maximize probabilistic accuracy. It works the same with positive or negative directions.	6mo S-momo	1yr S-momo	Resistance ? Support and Resistance levels are determined by previous high and low points. You may be familiar with traders drawing lines across charts where several peaks or valleys occur in the same range. This helps us understand the trading range of an asset where the market doesn't perceive it to be worth more or less than a certain price level. When it nears the boundaries of this range the probability of reversal can increase. Our neural nets create scores for this measure based on many factors such as the frequency, recency, size, consistency, etc of previous reversal points.	Support	Demark Sell ? Demark 9 indicators are designed to look for exhaustion in the selling or buying trend which can often be predictive of a reversal point. This indicator is triggered when there are 9 consecutive days where the closing price is higher/lower than the closing price 4 days ago. Like all indicators, it is best used in combinations with other factors.	Demark Buy	Short Interest	Analysts Ratings ? We track several different measures of analyst sentiment including ratings and price targets. To create a composite Analyst Sentiment Score, we weight several factors such as the recent rate of change which can be more predictive than the absolute level. We also weight each analyst's opinion based on their historic accuracy. We built in a time decay function to ensure that the rating reflects the current sentiment levels. Typical range (-80 to +80)
