IBM Wave Analysis 30 January 2025 - IBM opened with a sharp upward gap - Likely to rise to the resistance level 260.00 IBM today opened with the sharp upward gap which broke the resistance zone between the resistance level 239.00 (top of wave 3 from December) and the resistance trendline of the two up channels from November of 2024 and May of 2023. The breakout of this resistance zone continues the active minor impulse wave 5 of the higher impulse wave (5) from last May. IBM can be expected to rise further to the next resistance level 260.00 (the target price for the completion of the active impulse wave (5)).

IBM Pivoting downward. IBMA nicely proportional AB=CD pattern here, with RSX divergence (momentum) present. This is significant. Crosses and confluence on VZO and Stoch RSI, BB %RCT downgoing. Fibonacci offer some static goals. A word on goals - we discourage use of anything static in the markets. The nature of markets is such that the system is far too dynamic for any rigid rules to be profitable. We thus use a dynamic system, such as an indicator based algorithm for exits.

IBM International Business Machines Options Ahead of EarningsIf you haven`t bought IBM before the previous earnings: Now analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of IBM International Business Machines prior to the earnings report this week, I would consider purchasing the 230usd strike price Calls with an expiration date of 2025-1-31, for a premium of approximately $5.40. If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.

IBM: Attention! First signs of the end of the retracement!International Business Machines, abbreviated IBM and nicknamed "Blue Green", the large multinational computer technology and consulting corporation based in Armonk, New York, has a CLEARLY BULLISH technical aspect in its main time frames. During 2024 it accumulated a rise of almost 50% when it reached the 239 area on December 9. Since then the price took a break and began a retracement phase that took it to the 215 area (61.8% Fibonacci). --> What situation is it in now? If we look at the chart, last Friday the price showed us the first 2 bullish warnings (Bull), indicating that the END of the retracement could be very close!! --> What areas do we have to watch? An upward break of the 227 area would indicate the END OF THE REVERSE and therefore, a new attack on its historical highs. But if the price loses the 214, it could easily take it towards the 204 area. --> Is there any risk nearby? Yes. Wednesday 29th presents results and if there are negative surprises, the price could fall strongly towards the 204 area, putting its medium-long term bullish trend at risk. If our profile is CONSERVATIVE I would stay out of the value until the results are published, but if we have an AGGRESSIVE profile, we could follow the following strategy. -------------------------------------- Strategy to follow: ENTRY: We will open 2 long positions if the H4 candle closes above 227 POSITION 1 (TP1): We close the first position in the 238 area (+4.8%) --> Stop Loss at 214 (-5.7%). POSITION 2 (TP2): We open a Trailing Stop type position. --> Initial dynamic Stop Loss at (-5.7%) (coinciding with the 214 of position 1). ---We modify the dynamic Stop Loss to (-1%) when the price reaches TP1 (238). ------------------------------------------- SET UP EXPLANATIONS *** How do we know which 2 long positions to open? Let's take an example: If we want to invest 2,000 euros in the stock, what we do is divide that amount by 2, and instead of opening 1 position of 2,000, we will open 2 positions of 1,000 each. *** What is a Trailing Stop? A Trailing Stop allows a trade to continue gaining value when the market price moves in a favorable direction, but automatically closes the trade if the market price suddenly moves in an unfavorable direction by a certain distance. That certain distance is the dynamic Stop Loss. -->Example: If the dynamic Stop Loss is at -1%, it means that if the price drops by -1%, the position will be closed. If the price rises, the Stop Loss also rises to maintain that -1% in the rises, therefore, the risk is increasingly lower until the position becomes profitable. In this way, very solid and stable price trends can be taken advantage of, maximizing profits.

Long-Short setup for IBMTrendlines offer a broader perspective, helping identify larger price trends. On the chart, two primary trendlines emerge: Dashed Downtrend Line: Short-Term Resistance The dashed blue line, constructed from 1-hour candles over the past three months, has acted as a critical resistance in the short term. Recent price action indicates that the stock is struggling to breach this line, reinforcing bearish momentum. The expectation is as follows: Break Below the Dashed Line: If the price decisively breaks below the dashed blue line, it would signal the continuation of the short-term bearish trend. This could lead to accelerated selling pressure, pushing the stock lower. Implications of the Break: A breakdown would align the shorter-term trend with the long-term green channel, suggesting that the price might seek support at the lower boundary of the green ascending channel. Green Ascending Channel: Long-Term Support The green ascending channel, derived from daily candles, represents the stock's broader bullish trend. The lower boundary of this channel serves as a critical support zone: Target for the Decline: Once the price breaks below the dashed blue line, the expectation is that it will move toward the lower boundary of the green channel, where long-term buyers might re-enter the market. Support Strength: Historically, the lower boundary of the green channel has acted as a robust support, providing strong bounce opportunities. A touch at this level would likely present a favorable entry point for long positions in alignment with the long-term uptrend.

A Dying GiantIBM, once the gold standard of enterprise computing, is increasingly seen as a "dying giant" because it has not successfully pivoted to the areas of innovation that define the current tech landscape. From a financial perspective, IBM's business model has suffered from a lack of revenue growth, shrinking margins, and an overreliance on legacy hardware and software services. Its inability to reinvent itself post the PC era, while competitors like Microsoft and Apple embraced cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and mobile platforms, has left it in a vulnerable position. IBM’s focus on high-margin legacy systems like mainframes, while failing to capture the scalability and flexibility of the cloud, has been particularly detrimental. Additionally, its acquisitions—such as the $34 billion purchase of Red Hat in 2019—have failed to deliver transformative results. Instead of positioning itself as a cloud-native company, IBM seems to be stuck in a perpetual cycle of "turnaround" strategies, including aggressive cost-cutting, a bloated management structure, and divesting businesses (such as the spin-off of its managed infrastructure services business). This leads to a perception that IBM is a company in retreat, not in a position to drive the future of technology. From a financial standpoint, the underperformance of IBM’s stock—relative to peers like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google—is a clear indicator of investor sentiment. The company’s valuation, driven by outdated models of profitability, makes it less attractive to long-term investors who are increasingly focused on high-growth sectors like cloud infrastructure and AI. IBM’s attempt to reposition itself as a leader in hybrid cloud and AI is a case of too little, too late, in a landscape where competitors are already far ahead. In essence, IBM’s reluctance to abandon its outdated legacy business models and truly embrace the transformative technologies of today has left it with little room to maneuver in an industry that demands constant innovation.

IBM crossroadsSimple setup for the future of IBM a little bit bullish biased with the potential destination of the last blue rectangle, but first some signs of another inflection maybe after a descent must occur, preferably at any of the elements in the snapshot which could become support or resistance regardless of the path the market takes. Probably needs good earnings report for such a scenario, although there could also be a last chance setup possible somewhere at the bottom white arc even if the Earnings disappoint or don't impress. In a more bearish scenario for the short sellers a rebound from the slim white rectangle or break and retest of the bottom white curve could trigger the crossroad between the envisioned more bullish toned scenario and other potentials.

I'm using put options to trade its 3Q earningscopy and paste from Morgan Stanley: IBM has been on a nearly unprecedented run in the last 3 months, outperforming the S&P 500 by 20 points since 2Q earnings. IBM is now trading at all-time valuation highs on an absolute and relative basis. This momentum has been driven by 3 prevailing bull theses: (1) excitement around growth accelerating in CY25 with ELA/Mainframe cycles and the HCP acquisition, (2) the view that IBM is/will be an AI beneficiary, and (3) an expectation that RHT will be a beneficiary of volatility at VMW.

IBM, will continue it's LEGACY OF GROWTH! IBM has recorded its 3 straight year of significant price growth since falling to 87.0 level on January 2020 - during the pandemic era. Since then, price has significantly recovered and fundamental growth has been as consistent as ever even in the pandemic years. Yearly Revenues has steadily increased with no miss. Here's is the financial breakdown of the last 3 years. IBM revenue for the quarter ending March 31, 2023 was $14.252B, a 0.39% increase year-over-year. IBM revenue for the twelve months ending March 31, 2023 was $60.585B, a 3.81% increase year-over-year. IBM annual revenue for 2022 was $60.53B, a 5.54% increase from 2021. IBM annual revenue for 2021 was $57.35B, a 3.93% increase from 2020. Last earning calls: Mar 2023 EPS beat by 9.73% A closer look at the annual chart, we can see that the company's GROWTH trajectory will remain in place. Bubble up volume has appeared for three straight years already -- creating a higher low price base for a new series of long term growth. These metrics also indicates investor's confidence of the company growth prospect. Net buy volume / accumulation has significantly risen this last few months indicating a positive long-term outlook for the stock. It is currently ranging at an attractive 0.5 FIB level on our annual chart. A major order block support where most buyers converge. Before this ascend to 0.5 FIB, it overextended its correction to 0.786 FIB level and bounced off it with precision. On histogram, it is now consolidating at the bottom wave shift conveying an attractive price base for position takers / investors in the long term. This indicates an ascend continuation both in technical and fundamental aspect. Last time it did a bottom wave shift was on January 1995 before hitting the 1000% increase overtime in its price valuation. A revisit of its ATH is likely in the next couple of years -- with solid fundamentals and being the the Most Innovative and Prizewinning Tech Company, IBM's future is rosier than ever.

Is IBM's retreat from China a strategic gamble or a harbinger ofIBM's recent strategic decision to shutter its research and development center in China has sent ripples through the global tech industry. This move, coupled with the exodus of other American tech giants, has ignited a heated debate about the forces shaping the future of business in the world's second-largest economy. Is IBM's retreat a calculated response to changing market dynamics, or is it a canary in the coal mine, signaling a broader shift in the geopolitical landscape? As we delve deeper into the intricacies of this decision, a complex picture emerges, one that challenges our understanding of the delicate interplay between business, politics, and economics. IBM's withdrawal from China is not merely a corporate decision but a reflection of the evolving tensions between the world's two superpowers. The escalating trade wars, regulatory hurdles, and geopolitical uncertainties have created a challenging environment for foreign businesses, forcing them to reassess their strategies. However, IBM's decision is also a strategic one, driven by factors such as cost optimization and a desire to focus on core competencies. By relocating its operations to regions with lower labor costs, IBM can enhance its profitability and allocate resources more efficiently. As we navigate the complexities of this situation, it's imperative to recognize that IBM's retreat is not an isolated incident. It is a symptom of a broader trend, a reflection of the challenges faced by foreign companies operating in China. The economic slowdown, increased nationalism, and regulatory uncertainty have created a perfect storm that is forcing businesses to rethink their China strategies. The future of business in China remains uncertain. IBM's decision is a stark reminder of the delicate balance between economic opportunities and geopolitical risks. As the world continues to evolve, it is essential for businesses to remain agile, adaptable, and prepared to navigate the challenges and seize the opportunities that lie ahead.

IBM reaches all-time highs amid strategic shiftsIBM captured significant attention in August 2024, driven by pivotal developments that underscore the company’s strategic realignment and technological innovation. The decision to close its research and development centre in China, which will impact over 1,000 employees, is part of a broader global restructuring aimed at sharpening its focus on burgeoning sectors like artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud technology. This move reflects IBM's commitment to consolidating its resources towards high-growth areas. Adding to the momentum, IBM's presentation at the Hot Chips 2024 conference showcased its latest advancements in processor technology. The introduction of the Telum II processor and Spyre gas pedal marks a significant leap in computing power and energy efficiency, particularly for AI tasks, which are becoming increasingly crucial across industries. These initiatives indicate IBM's ongoing efforts to fortify its leadership in AI and cloud technologies, signalling a future solid trajectory despite the reductions in other operational areas.
