When in doubt, short garbage. In any other market this would have filled the gap below but the computerz are busy pumping futures. Don't see that happening tonight.
So I flipped the puts I bought yesterday for a nice 170% gain, got out because I went with weeklys. I think this has more room to drop on what appears to be a bear flag. Look at the pattern from last April, expecting something similar down to $134 support.
Remember when in doubt, short garbage, it's easier than finding a top. The market is bouncing up and IBM isn't.
IBM report earnings on the 16th of April, this could be a critical report for them as historically earnings reports have been negative for the stock with the exception of last quarter. we do not have the conviction to long this stock into earnings. Wait and see is our approach, plenty of upside or downside remain.
IBM is completing an intermediate-term bottom with a breakout from a consolidation, rising above the bottom resistance level and prior sideways action before the downtrend last summer. The stock has rising volume which is a positive sign for this run ahead of the earnings report in 2 weeks.
We see some good jumps on the chart, is it possible that it is time for a pullback by this rising wedge?
The wedge is closing in so the answer is near, just like the USDCHF trade I'm not trading it yet.
Would like some feedback, or a like!
Thanks for reading
IBM is showing good consolidation and may be setting up for a breakout. Keep in mind IBM can be a slow mover so it may not break out fast. Tight stops are required as always based on my strategy.
1. Not up 3 days in a row
2. Linear previous momentum leg
3. Stock is in early phases of an uptrend i.e. not extended
4. Has not had a significant breakout or...
