Building supply company Louisiana Pacific (LPX) is benefiting from the real or perceived housing recovery, up over 200% since the bottom in October 2011. One of its major competitors, Weyerhauser (WY), was profiled last week and now it seems it is Louisiana Pacific’s to make another move. Take a look.

Louisiana Pacific (LPX) Daily
LPX
The daily chart above shows the price moving back to the top at 15 after finding support at the 50 day Simple Moving Average on the recent pullback. A move over 15 carries a Measured Move higher to 17.20. The rising Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the positive and growing Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator (MACD) both support continued upside movement in price.

LPX 2
The weekly chart should give more confidence for a move higher. The 13 area had been a multi-year resistance and the pullback held on the retest. On this broader scale you could make an argument for a Measured Move to 22.70. Wait for the trigger at 15.
