Whirlpool Corp $WHR Hitting Major Support, Now A Swing Buy TradeShares of Whirlpool Corp (WHR) continue to decline but finally the stock chart has hit major support. The $115 level is a major pivot from 2010 with Whirlpool now almost 50% off its 2018 highs. Swing traders should look for a bounce back to $125-$130 in the coming weeks. This is a classic technical setup for investors.

WHR trade ideas
WHR - Risk Vs. Potential RewardOn a purely technical basis, and relatively short-term at that, WHR has had rather volatile and chaotic price action. None of the classic and more reliable technical structures exist at the moment for WHR, but that does not mean there are no opportunities to play.
Given the current setup, I believe there are 3 potential scenarios:
1. The most bullish, an immediate or rather quick (1-2 week) gap fill to 150, which would be good for about 16% from 7/24/18 close of 128
2. A bounce to the most recent floor through which WHR gapped below near 143, which would be good for about 10% from 7/24/18 close of 128
3. A move lower to test 4 year lows near 123, which would be about 4% lower
Now, there are an infinite number of ways this could play out, but given these 3 potential scenarios based on price action and technical structure, if you remain disciplined and make use of good stop levels, I believe there is a chance to make some money, as the risk/return potential favors a long play. Set a tight stop loss near 123, because if we close below 123 we are in free fall. Play for a pop to 143 or 150.
Personally I do not often trade these types of setups, as it is basically trying to catch a falling knife. That said, with the use of a disciplined trade process or through the use of options, there may be some potential on this trade.
WHR: Would U You Buy WHR Appliance Or Foreign Brand Applicances?Whirlpool, a household brand worldwide and throughout US.
But facing cost and foreign competitive pressures, it has a negative impact on WHR's profitability in the years ahead.
Is WHR approaching an end of a long term uptrend in 2018?
Or its the consolidation since 2015 not completed?
From a technical picture, WHR is in the final leg of its uptrend in the form of an Ending Diagonal.
Ideally but not necessary, prices should break its 2015 top at $217.11 to complete its entire uptrend since Mar 2009.
A higher possibility will be a upside target of its Minuette (iii) top at $202.99.
A break above $224.11 will invalidate the Ending Diagonal analysis.
An alternative will be Minuette (iv) is still incomplete and could still form a lower low in the coming days before resuming the upside to complete Minuette (v).
Another alternative possibility will be Minute ((iv)) is still forming as a FLAT pattern.
This is the less likely possibility but not completely ruled out.
I expect to earn $10/share profit on this $WHR trade in 3 days..As always, I am looking for quick score opportunities where there is a high reward, low risk stock chart setup. I found one in shares of Whirlpool Corporation (NYSE:WHR). This setup should yield a $10 move higher by Wednesday of this week, meaning it is a trade that should give you a $10 per share pop in three days. First, note the beautiful bull flag pattern formation that is consolidating above the daily 50 moving average. Next notice the clear magnet type target that is at $170.36. This is made up of the gap fill and daily 200 moving average. Considering this week should be an extremely light volume trading week, upside on the stock market is favored. Add it all together and Whirlpool Corporation will likely move from its current price to a $170.36 price target by Wednesday. I am a buyer and expect to cash in quickly.
