Watch These Boeing Stock Price Levels After 5-Session Winning Streak Snapped
Boeing shares closed slightly lower on Tuesday to put an end to a five-day winning streak during which the stock gained 14%.
Since forming a bullish piercing pattern earlier this month, the stock has continued to move higher, potentially forming a double bottom in the process.
Investors should watch overhead areas on Boeing's chart around $187 and $215, while also tracking important support levels near $140 and $121.Boeing (BA) shares closed slightly lower on Tuesday to put an end to a five-day winning streak during which the stock gained 14%.
The stock got a boost to start the week after analysts at Berstein upgraded the stock, pointing out that the jet maker's narrower-than-expected first quarter loss posted last week indicates a turnaround toward growth. In addition, Spirit AeroSystems Holdings and Boeing rival Airbus agreed to a deal Monday, clearing the way for Boeing to reacquire the supplier as it works to improve its manufacturing quality
Boeing shares have gained 5% since the start of the year, after a turbulent 2024 that saw the stock lose a third of its value as a string of production mishaps and a crippling machinists strike weighed on investor sentiment. Boeing shares fell 0.2% to $182 on Tuesday.
Below, we break down the technicals on Boeing's weekly chart and identify major price level worth putting on the radar.
Since forming a bullish piercing pattern earlier this month, Boeing shares have continued to move higher, potentially forming a double bottom in the process.
It's also worth noting that while this month's low made a lower low, the relative strength index (RSI) made a comparatively shallower trough to create a bullish divergence, a technical occurrence pointing to weakening selling pressure.
Let's identify two major overhead areas on Boeing's chart that investors may be watching and also locate important support levels worth tracking during pullbacks.
The first overhead area to watch sits around $187. This level may provide resistance near the closely watched 200-week moving average and a horizontal line that connects a range of trading activity on the chart stretching back to late 2021.
Further buying enthusiasm could lift Boeing shares to the $215 level. Investors looking for profit-taking opportunities may decide to place sell orders near the upper range of a period of sideways drift on the chart between January and July 2023.
This location also sits in the neighborhood of a projected bars pattern target that takes the stock's steep uptrend following a prior double bottom on the chart and repositions it from this month's low, providing insight as to how a similar move higher may play out.
A retracement in the stock could see the shares fall to around $140. This area on the chart would likely attract buying interest near last November's prominent swing low, which also closely aligns with a brief period of consolidation in mid-2022.
Finally, a further descent in Boeing shares could see a drop to lower support at $121. Investors may view this as a potential buying level near the May and September 2022 swing lows that preceded the stock's steep move higher in the fourth quarter of that year.

Sector Spotlight: Boeing enters non-prosecution agreement with DOJ
Welcome to the latest edition of 'Sector Spotlight,' where The Fly looks at a new industry every week and highlights its happenings. Confident Investing Starts Here: INDUSTRIAL SECTOR NEWS: Lime and Uber (UBER) have signed a new multiyear deal to let Uber feature Lime's shared bikes and scooters on its ridehail app, The Verge's Andrew J. Hawkins wrote. The deal was set to expire in 2025. Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said the company is in the 'study phase' of using stablecoins as a way to transfer money worldwide, Bloomberg's Natalie Lung and Tom Giles reported. Stablecoins seems to have 'a practical benefit other than crypto's historic value,' the CEO said during an interview at the Bloomberg Tech conference San Francisco. Khosrowshahi added that the stablecoin is 'quite promising especially for global companies' since it can help cut costs of moving money around among different countries. Founders Fund has led an enormous funding round in defense technology startup Anduril with a $1B investment as part of a new $2.5B round, TechCrunch's Julie Bort wrote. Existing investors also took part in the funding round for the company, which was founded by Oculus VR founder Palmer Luckey, the author said, citing an Anduril spokesperson. The defense tech startup has now doubled its valuation to $30.5B with this Series G increase, the author noted. RTX (RTX) and Northrop Grumman (NOC) announced four successful tests of flight-ready Highly Loaded Grain solid rocket motors for the U.S. Army's Next-Generation Short-Range Interceptor. HLG is a solid propellant technology for rocket motors that provides longer burn time and more energy output than conventional solid rocket motors, which extends the range of Raytheon's NGSRI offering compared to other missiles. Jacobs (J) was selected to deliver design, engineering and environmental services for Boeing's (BA) multi-billion expansion at its St. Louis, Missouri, campus. Designed to nearly double Boeing's regional manufacturing footprint, the 1.1M square-foot expansion will support advanced assembly facilities and the associated post assembly operations center for future generations of advanced aircraft. Site construction is underway and will be completed in multiple phases between 2026 and 2030. Uber, in a regulatory filing, announced that on May 31, appointed Nikesh Arora to the board. 'Nikesh is a globally respected business leader with deep experience across technology, finance, and cybersecurity,' said Ron Sugar, independent chairperson of the board. 'His leadership in scaling innovative businesses and navigating complex international markets will be invaluable as Uber continues to grow and evolve.' Arora has served as the chairman of the board and CEO of Palo Alto Networks (PANW) since June 2018. According to a regulatory filing, Boeing entered into a non-prosecution agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice that, subject to court proceedings, resolves matters relating to the Department's determination that the company did not fulfill its obligations under the previously-disclosed deferred prosecution agreement entered into by the company and the Department on January 6, 2021. Pursuant to the NPA, the company is subject to a $487.2M overall criminal monetary penalty, $243.6M of which was paid in 2021 pursuant to the DPA and the remaining $243.6M of which was included in amounts expensed by the company in 2024 pursuant to the proposed plea agreement between the company and the Department filed with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas on July 24, 2024. The NPA also requires the company, among other things, to pay $444.5M in additional compensation to the heirs and/or beneficiaries of those who died in the Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 accidents, to invest $455M in the company's compliance, safety, and quality programs through the end of the term of the NPA, to retain an independent compliance consultant to assess the company's progress regarding remediation and implementation of the compliance measures described in the NPA and the attachments thereto, to continue to implement a compliance program, and to continue to undertake a review of its internal controls, policies and procedures. The Department agreed that it will not further criminally prosecute the company for any conduct described in the NPA provided that the Company performs all of its obligations under the NPA, including those described above. The NPA has a term of two years from the date on which the company retains the independent compliance consultant, unless the NPA is extended or terminated earlier as described therein. China is considering placing an order for hundreds of Airbus (EADSY) aircraft as soon as next month, with deliberations underway with Chinese airlines about the size of the potential order, Bloomberg's Siddharth Vikram Philip and Danny Lee reported. The deal could involve around 300 planes, including both narrowbody and widebody models, according to people familiar with the matter. Kratos Defense & Security Solutions (KTOS) and GE Aerospace (GE) announced a formal teaming agreement to advance propulsion technologies for the next generation of unmanned aerial systems and Collaborative Combat Aircraft-type aircraft. Eaton (ETN) and Siemens Energy (SMNEY) have announced a fast-track approach to building data centers with integrated onsite power. They will aim to address market needs by offering grid-independent energy supplies and standardized modular systems to facilitate data center construction and deployment. The collaboration will enable simultaneous construction of data centers and associated on-site power generation with grid connection and the integration of renewables to meet regional regulatory requirements, if required. Siemens Energy's modular and scalable power plant concept's standard configuration generates 500 MW of electricity. Based on its modular approach, the size of the plant can be scaled up and down. In the future, it can also operate in a carbon-neutral manner, provided hydrogen is available and part of the data center's sustainability strategy. Eaton will provide customers with electrical equipment such as medium voltage switchgear, low voltage switchgear, UPS, busways, structural support, racks and containment systems, engineering services and software offerings. Uber announced the departure of Pierre-Dimitri Gore-Coty, senior VP, delivery, and the appointment of Andrew Macdonald as president and COO, effective immediately. Macdonald joined Uber in 2012 and has served in a range of leadership roles at the company. In his new role as president and COO, reporting to Dara Khosrowshahi, he will be responsible for the company's global mobility, delivery, and autonomous businesses, as well as cross-platform functions like membership, customer support, safety, and more. Tata Group's Air India is in discussions with Airbus and Boeing for a new aircraft order including around 200 extra single-aisle planes, Tim Hepher, Aditi Shah and Rajesh Kumar Singh of Reuters wrote, citing industry sources. In an interview with The Financial Times, Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg said he was working with the Trump administration to ensure the company did not become as 'unintended consequence' of the trade war with China, suggesting countries buy more of its aircraft to reduce their trade deficits with the U.S., Sylvia Pfeifer and Claire Bushey of The Financial Times reported. Ortberg also told the Times the launch of a new aircraft expected to replace its 737 Max was not an immediate priority, adding the 'market is not ready now.' Saudi Arabia is set to place orders for billions of dollars of Airbus jets as the kingdom balances suppliers in its quest to match the aviation growth of Gulf neighbors, industry sources said, according to Reuters. Leasing company AviLease, which placed an order for 30 Boeing 737 MAX jets during a visit to the region this month by U.S. President Donald Trump, could place a comparable order for Airbus A320neo jets at next month's Paris Airshow.

'An Improvement in Quality', Says Unlikely Source, But Boeing Stock (NYSE:BA) Slips Regardless
If there were anyone out there that it would be hard for aerospace stock Boeing (BA) to please right now, who do you think it would be? Perhaps the CEO of Alaska Airlines (ALK), Ben Minicucci? That would be one tall order, right? And yet, that is just what happened. Despite this, investors were still skeptical, and sent Boeing shares down fractionally in Friday afternoon's trading. Confident Investing Starts Here: While at the International Air Transport Association's annual meeting, Minicucci noted that the material seen out of Boeing has been improving on a regular basis. Minicucci noted, 'What we've seen quarter to quarter is an improvement in safety, an improvement in quality.' Naturally, it was not a perfect run, as Minicucci also noted, 'Are they yet there? No, there's still a lot of work.' But even there, it seemed less like a specific criticism than a simple expression of ongoing distrust. But there are signs of thawing everywhere. Tim Clark of Emirates Airlines was happy to hear 'clearer messages' coming out of Boeing's top brass, and was happy to see the 'change of style' found under Kelly Ortberg. Interestingly, Tim Clark had never met Ortberg's predecessor, Dave Calhoun, but has met Kelly Ortberg. Clark even made reference to 'cautious optimism' of the kind he had not seen 'in the last few years,' reports noted. Tough Room Naturally, not everything was so positive for Boeing. The deal finally reached with the government that allowed it to avoid prosecution did not even sort of sit well with the surviving families of those who died in the 737 Max jet crashes. In fact, one of the lawyer for the 16 families involved declared the deal 'morally repugnant.' It has also reportedly provoked 'visceral outrage' from his clients, who, reportedly, declared the $444.5 million payout to be insufficient. Further, noted lawyer Sanjiv Singh, the deal allows Boeing to '…sidestep true criminal accountability.' Singh also declared that the penalties involved are '…actually like Boeing paying $10 to escape criminal liability. It's as if they got a misdemeanour ticket or a parking ticket.' Given that Boeing made around $66.5 billion in total revenue in 2024, $1.1 billion is actually a much more substantial portion than implied. Is Boeing a Good Stock to Buy Right Now? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Strong Buy consensus rating on BA stock based on 16 Buys, three Holds and one Sell assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 9.87% rally in its share price over the past year, the average BA price target of $218.37 per share implies 4.62% upside potential.

5 winners from the Trump-Musk breakup
The vicious blowup between President Trump and Elon Musk has shaken up the power dynamics in Washington, D.C. As Musk burns his bridges to the White House and MAGA World, several of his political and business rivals stand to benefit. And while Musk's enemies may relish his ouster, some of Trump's biggest rivals could also gain from the president's feud with the world's richest man. Here are the people, businesses and factions that could win from Musk's loss. Musk's alienation from Trump gives Jeff Bezos a major opportunity to improve his tumultuous relationship with the president and fuel the growth of Blue Origin, his aerospace company. Even before Musk's alignment with Trump, he and Bezos butted heads for years as the billionaires dueled each other for dominance over the private-sector space race. At the same time, Bezos was fending off Trump's attacks on The Washington Post and facing off with the administration in court. Musk's SpaceX had already cemented itself as the industry leader before joining forces with Trump, far outpacing Blue Origin in total launches while also servicing the International Space Station. But Musk's growing ties to Trump threatened to deepen SpaceX's connection to the government and siphon billions of dollars in federal contracts away from Blue Origin. With Musk out of Trump's good graces, Bezos now has an opening to build on months of work to curry the president's favor. Ahead of the 2024 election, Bezos spiked the Post's pending endorsement of former Vice President Kamala Harris, a move critics derided as self-interested. In an op-ed for the Post, Bezos said his decision was made based on editorial principle alone, but he acknowledged how his business empire has become a 'complexifier' for the paper. Amazon was also one of several major tech companies to donate $1 million to Trump's inauguration, and it inked a documentary deal with Melania Trump reportedly worth $40 million. Musk's exit is another win for Boeing after months of progress moving forward from a series of scandals and safety lapses. As Boeing faced federal investigations into its safety protocols for commercial aircraft, it also suffered an embarrassing setback in its spacecraft efforts during the Biden administration. Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams spent months stuck on the International Space Station after taking off from Earth on Boeing's Starliner in June 2024. What was supposed to be a weeklong mission turned into a nine-month ordeal in which several Starliner maintenance issues delayed their return to Earth. Former President Biden rejected Musk's offer to bring Wilmore and Williams home with the SpaceX Dragon amid its own feud with the tech CEO. The Biden administration held an electric vehicle summit earlier in Biden's term, but it snubbed Musk, sending the Tesla CEO on his path toward endorsing Trump. Wilmore and Williams finally returned to Earth in March after Trump dispatched the Dragon to bring them back. Musk threatened Thursday to ground the Dragon amid Trump's threats to scrap SpaceX's federal contracts, which would have debilitated the U.S. space program. While Musk has since pulled back from that threat, his feud with Trump gives Boeing an opening to move forward from the Starliner mishap. Before this week, Musk's most notable falling out with an ally may have been his feud with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Musk, one of the co-founders of the nonprofit artificial intelligence (AI) firm behind ChatGPT, has battled Altman in the courts and on the internet over his leadership. He had consistently criticized Altman for plans to make OpenAI a for-profit business — plans that have since been scrapped — and sued the company for an alleged breach of its commitments. Musk also launched xAI, one of several rivals to OpenAI, and incorporated the Grok chatbot into X, the social media platform he also owns. Trump, however, ignored Musk's disdain for Altman and made OpenAI a major player in Project Stargate, his effort to build out AI data and energy centers. Musk was forced to abide Trump's partnership with Altman, and the president dismissed his adviser's beef with OpenAI when touting the benefits of the deal. 'No it doesn't. He hates one of the people in the deal,' Trump said in January when asked if Musk's criticism bothered him. 'I've spoken to Elon. I've spoken to all of them, actually. The people in the deal are very, very smart people,' Trump continued. 'But Elon, one of the people in the deal he happens to hate, but I have certain hatreds of people too.' With Altman's arch rival out of the White House, the path is clear for an even bigger role in Trump's efforts to boost AI. While Musk shared Trump's support for stricter border security, he spent his stint with the president at odds with some of Trump's closest advisers and major MAGA movement leaders. Even before Trump took office, a war over H-1B visas erupted between Musk and several Trump allies who are fiercely opposed to courting immigrants and who back Trump's severe immigration restrictions. Musk squared off with former Trump strategist Steve Bannon and right-wing activist Laura Loomer over the H-1B program. 'I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend,' Musk, reportedly a former H-1B recipient, wrote in one of several posts on X defending the visas. While the tech CEO said H-1Bs were essential for U.S. competitiveness, Bannon and Loomer accused Musk of supporting a 'scam' that would undermine Trump's America First platform. Musk has also butted heads with Stephen Miller, a top Trump White House policy adviser and the architect of much of the president's immigration restriction agenda. In recent days, Miller has been front and center in defending Trump's tax cut and spending bill, the measure behind the rupture between Musk and Trump. 'The reconciliation bill cuts taxes, seals the border and reforms welfare. It is not a spending bill. There is no 'pork.' It is the campaign agenda codified,' Miller said Thursday on X, a clear swipe at Musk, if not by name. Bannon has gone even further, urging Trump to seize control of SpaceX and deport Musk, a native of South Africa, citing allegations that his legal status in the country had lapsed. Democrats have had a miserable start to 2025, but the Musk-Trump feud is undoubtedly good news for the time being. The messy online battle between Trump and Musk gave Democrats some relief from months of ineffectual attempts to impede the president's agenda, recriminations over the 2024 election, divisions about their future, and a lack of clear leadership, resulting in historic unpopularity. 'Oh, man, the girls are fighting, aren't they?' Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) quipped Thursday. 'We'll see what the impacts are of it legislatively.' Trump, eager to quash a distraction from his legislative push, sought Friday to ice the feud with Musk and move forward. But one first-term Trump White House aide said Musk's alienation could lead to further fractures in the GOP, which could give Democrats some room to breathe after a brutal six-month stretch. 'We think we've seen some real legislative gridlock — but with new life and momentum breathed into the Freedom Caucus's power, I don't think we've seen anything yet,' the former White House aide said. 'At a time when Republicans need to be united more than ever, the most dangerous faction I've seen could be accelerating quickly — and congressional leadership may soon find they have less control than ever.' Democrats were already banking on Musk being an electoral liability in next year's midterm elections, though they were wary of drawing his money into the race. If Musk follows through on threats to punish Republicans who voted for Trump's bill, the divided field could boost Democrats even further. 'He's already suggested Republicans wouldn't have kept the House without his help, and while he previously downplayed any plans to get politically involved, that's harder to believe as the rhetoric between him and Trump heats up,' the former White House aide said. 'The midterms are a prime opportunity to back up that claim — and in swing districts where a couple million dollars can tip the scales, his involvement could be a game-changer.'
