Don't look now, but FedEx (FDX) is trading at a nine-month high. In fact, the stock has more than doubled off its March low. That bodes well for the economic recovery, as FedEx is considered a bellwether for the health of commerce.
A look at the technicals shows the stock appears to be emerging from some stickiness around the $70 level. That's where the shares peaked in early August and where they found tough going last week.
But with the help of support from the 20-day moving average, the shares are once again on the move.
We see the next area of possible resistance at $75, the strike of peak call open interest in the September series (heavy call strikes often define tops).
