Virgin Galactic Shares: Technical Analysis
(Click on image to enlarge)
Virgin Galactic’s technical picture reveals a possible triple top at $60 that formed recently. If we look back in the past in search of support, the $42 area corresponds to a level where the share price found resistance in the past before blasting it over. As such, on any negative surprise, either from the test flight or from the financial results, the previous resistance area should act as support.
As for the triple top, technical traders have a saying that triple tops rarely hold. However, it depends on the price action that follows shortly after the rejection. What matters at this point is that the $60 level caps the upside and the $ 42 the downside. Any break and close above, respectively below these levels, should be met with more continuation in the same direction.
What Is the Outlook for the Virgin Galactic Share Price?
The frenzy surrounding Virgin Galactic’s share price is mostly about its upcoming test flight rather than about the upcoming financial results. 2021 started with the world’s three spacecraft from the United States, China, and the United Arab Emirates reaching the Red Planet (a.k.a. Mars), so people are keen to see further developments in this space. The more Virgin Galactic delays the test flight, the bigger the disappointment will be. Also, it may very well be that the test flight is already priced at current levels, considering the 100% gain in the share price in less than two months.
