CAT trade ideas
CaterpillarWe are at a very strong resistance level as we have up move and average volume which is decreasing. The last month (July) was disbalanced, because the spread of the bar is wide and the volume is less compared to previous bar's spread and their activity. So it would be a good idea to buy put options.

High IV in CAT due to earnings soon. $100 put is trading for $1.15, or 1.15% ROC. This is 7.4% below the current price. We are looking at around $2.16 in premium per day, if not more if the premium gets sucked out faster.
CAT currently has a 2.93% divvy yield as well, if I do happen to get assigned shares. Upon being assigned, I would look to immediately sell calls for more basis reduction.
CAT - Caterpillar has a big hill to climb. This long-term chart looks at the relationship between Caterpillar NYSE:CAT and front-month crude oil futures
The week so far has seen a few points shaved off CAT's 30% rally since election day, when it hovered around its 50 week average. The stock has been pounding against 5 year resistance while mostly shrugging off weakness in Crude. But with no clear path ahead for oil prices and an uphill battle for any infrastructure bill through Congress, can CAT bust through the trend line and "grow into its multiple" as so many analysts predict?

The stock bounced at it friday.
The candle was a nice little indecision candle and after a down move like that , there is good chance that we will see a reversal.
Also, the stock gap a lot on earning so after a big move like that the stock usually retrace and then continue to move higher and this is what im expecting.
Caterpillar A pause in the Uptrend?Although the company is facing a Class Action Lawsuit for not complying with either U.S. tax law or U.S. financial reporting rules, with the intention of maintaining a higher share price. The stocks looks appealing from a chart point of view as the recent dip to 90.60$ seems corrective, in the newly established up trend that dates back to March 2016. The ultimate target is 98.90$, but we need o clear the 92.30$ level first. A close below 89.50$ will invalidate the scenario.
