L3HARRIS TECHNOLOGIES INC (NYSE:LHX) Shows High-Quality Technical Breakout Setup

By Mill Chart

Last update: Sep 3, 2025

Technical analysis gives investors a structure for judging securities by examining statistical trends collected from trading activity, like price movement and volume. One useful method for spotting possible opportunities is the breakout strategy, which centers on stocks showing good basic technical condition while also moving in a narrow range, hinting at a coming price move. This method uses two specific metrics: the ChartMill Technical Rating, which judges the general strength and trend of a stock, and the Setup Quality Rating, which examines the consolidation pattern and possible entry points. By searching for stocks that rate well on both metrics, investors can find securities ready for notable moves.

L3HARRIS TECHNOLOGIES INC (NYSE:LHX) is now a notable candidate based on this method. The company, a supplier of defense and commercial technologies for air, land, sea, space, and cyber areas, shows good technical features that match breakout standards.

Technical Strength: A Base for Momentum

A high Technical Rating is important because it shows a stock is in a clear uptrend with good momentum, raising the chance that any breakout will continue instead of fail. LHX does very well here, having a Technical Rating of 9 out of 10. This grade is supported by multiple good factors listed in its technical report. Both its long-term and short-term trends are rated as positive, showing matching strength across various time frames. The stock is trading close to its 52-week high of $280.52, a result that, while similar to the wider market's own highs, still shows good individual strength. Also, it shows better yearly performance, doing better than 76% of all stocks, and keeps acceptable liquidity with an average daily volume of more than 1.24 million shares. This mix of a good trend, high relative strength, and acceptable liquidity forms a technically solid base from which a breakout can begin.

Setup Quality: Finding the Best Entry Zone

While technical strength shows which stock to watch, the Setup Quality score deals with when to think about an entry. A high grade means a consolidation period, where price action becomes tight and volatility lessens, forming a possible energy spring that frequently comes before a notable price move. LHX has an outstanding Setup Rating of 9. The analysis mentions that the stock has been trading in a tight range between $267.25 and $280.52 over the last month, a typical sign of consolidation. This coiling price action has lowered volatility, and the existence of a clear support zone near $275 and a resistance zone just above at $276-$278 gives defined levels for handling a trade. Giving more confidence are signs of accumulation, including recent attention from big players and a Pocket Pivot signal, which frequently means smart money is entering a position quietly before a big move.

The combination of an excellent Technical Rating and a high-quality Setup Rating makes LHX a clear example of the type of opportunity the breakout strategy aims to find. It shows a strong stock pausing, possibly preparing for its next upward move.
