$IBM, HARD TO SHAKE OF STIGMA OF OLD TECH.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 trade ideas
IBM: Completing a bottom with rising volume ahead of earrningsIBM 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.
Momentum Surge - IBMIBM 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 breakdown during the consolidation phase
5. Consolidation is nice and clean with narrow range days, lower volume , and can even be pointing down.
Buy = $134.86
Stop = $133.29
Shares = 40

IBM EarningsSomeone asked me about this a couple of weeks ago...
Last time they had crap earnings people started bailing out 4 days before the next earnings. Buying puts at close tomorrow, will roll into a lower strike on Momday if this pans out, if not I'm holding the puts through earnings.
This is strictly a timing call. Also I expect earnings to be crappy. If you're optimistic, buy some calls.
IBM in a bearish rising wedge?Looks like the IBM shows us a bearish rising wedge.
Definitely something to look out for, let's keep an eye on it if it works and if yes how much drop we could expect. For now I expect some pullback to a support at approximately 115$.
Since I'm still learning I'm not trading this.
If you feel the same give me some feedback I'm glad to hear from you guys!
Give a like if you feel I'm right.
