Walt Disney Co. (Friday’s close US$116.21) traded in a large triangle formation made up of lower highs and higher lows for about three years (dashed lines).
The recent rise above the top of this formation (A) suggests a breakout and renewed investor interest. A rise above ±$122 (A) would signal the start of a new up-leg.
Behaviour indicators including the 40-week Moving Average (40wMA) and the rising trend-line (solid line) confirm the bullish potential. Only a sustained decline below $107-108 would be negative.
Point & Figure measurements suggest targets of US$135 and US$145. The large triangle formation (dashed lines) supports significantly higher targets.
