Chart created using Benzinga Pro

• Bollinger Bands: The 25-day Bollinger Bands range from $172.72 to $192.79, suggesting the stock is trading within a bullish range, reinforces this positive outlook.
• MACD and RSI: The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator at 1.13 supports a bullish stance, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 56.50 and treading upwards, signals the stock is heading toward the overbought territory, but still within bullish territory.

What’s Next: The combination of Boeing's legal resolution and bullish technical indicators presents a complex but potentially favorable scenario for investors.

Key resistance is around the 200-day simple moving average at $198.68, which will be a critical level to watch. If Boeing can break above this, it may signal further upward momentum.

While Boeing navigates its legal challenges, the stock's technical indicators suggest there might be more altitude ahead for Boeing shares. Investors should keep an eye on the upcoming federal judge's approval of the plea deal and watch for any significant movements around the 200-day SMA.
