Paccar (PCAR) sports a bullish looking chart with two breakouts in as many months. The stock surged from October to December and then corrected with a decline that retraced 62%. After three bounces off the 62% retracement area, the stock broke out with a surge in mid-April.

The broken resistance zone around 64 turned into support as the stock fell back into early May. Notice that a falling wedge formed and this decline retraced 50-62% of the April surge. Both the retracement amount and the pattern are typical for pullbacks within bigger uptrends. This pullback ended with a gap up and wedge breakout last week. The gap is holding, the breakout is bullish and I would mark first support at 64. The indicator window shows the price relative (PCAR:$SPX ratio) turning up in April as PCAR starts to outperform and show relative strength.
