Bearish Momentum Continues Unabated: Short OpportunityThe technical outlook for MMM remains weak and the bearish momentum is showing no signs of abating. The price has been steadily declining, and multiple indicators suggest that this trend is likely to continue.
Firstly, the Moving Averages (MA) are in a bearish alignment, with the short-term MA trading well below the long-term MA. This is a classic sign of a downtrend. Furthermore, the price is trading well below the MAs, reinforcing the bearish bias.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI), a momentum oscillator, remains firmly in the oversold territory. While this often suggests a potential reversal, the lack of any bullish divergence indicates that the selling pressure remains strong.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is also in bearish territory, further reinforcing our short bias. The MACD line remains below the signal line and shows no sign of a bullish crossover.
Lastly, the Bollinger Bands are showing the price trading near the lower band, which is often a sign of a strong downtrend. The bands are also widening, indicating increasing volatility and potentially further price declines.
In light of these bearish technical indicators, my trading idea is to establish a short position in MMM. Given the strength of the downtrend, I believe there is significant potential for further downside. Traders should consider setting a stop loss at a level where the technical picture changes, such as a break above the MA or a bullish MACD crossover, to manage risk effectively.
Three targets are below.
