In the last month LDOS has a been trading in the 139.69 - 161.00 range, which is quite wide. It is currently trading in the middle of this range, so some resistance may be found above.
Considerably lower volume is observed in the last couple of days.
LDOS has a poor technical rating and the quality of the setup is also not perfect at the moment. Price movement has been a little bit too volatile to find a nice entry and exit point. It is probably a good idea to wait for a consolidation first.
