FedEx first floated back in April 1978 and, perhaps surprisingly to many younger investors, floated for less than a dollar at the time. Today, the stock is trading at a fresh all-time high of around $410.78.
From a broader perspective, FedEx has gone through multiple phases where the stock has accelerated aggressively higher before entering periods of consolidation and structural resets.
When viewed from the monthly timeframe, it is not the cleanest example of a textbook higher-high, higher-low structure. There are several occasions when we see temporary breaks in the structure, which I’ve highlighted with circles on the chart. Importantly, those periods of weakness were generally short-lived, and the stock subsequently returned to its broader uptrend, continuing to make higher highs and higher lows.
Now onto the technicals
The most important recent area of interest is the large pink box that formed between May 2021 and March 2026.
During that period, the price moved sideways between approximately $320 and $142.
We did have multiple attempts to break higher during that time, but each move ultimately failed before the price could properly clear the top of the pink box.
That changed in February 2026.
At that point, the price finally broke out of the box with strong momentum, clearing the prior resistance level cleanly.
Interestingly, after breaking out, the price never actually came back to test what had previously been resistance and should now have acted as support. Instead, the stock simply continued trending higher.
Eventually, though, that momentum faded, and price entered another, smaller consolidation phase, represented by the second pink box on the chart.
So between 23 February 2026 and 27 May 2026, the stock effectively moved sideways once again.
What is particularly interesting now is that price has just gapped above that second pink box and pushed out to fresh all-time highs.
I must admit, though, this is a stock where I have attempted entries previously and simply been too early, only to see the stock drift sideways again or come back and stop me out.
This time around, I intend to be more patient and look for stronger confirmation before committing capital.
Today’s candle was certainly constructive, as we broke out to all-time highs, though volume was positive rather than exceptional.
For me, the key now is confirmation.
I want to either:
See price come back and successfully test prior resistance as support
or see three strong consecutive closes at all-time highs
before entering the trade.
That way, we reduce the probability of another failed breakout and price simply falling back into the box again.
Entry trigger
Break and retest of prior resistance as support
OR three strong closes at all-time highs
