Daily 4XSetUps - Consolidation Of MMM At A High Level
“small bearish GAP and/or also large bullish GAP 2025!
which resistance is stronger? bullish one? bearish one?”
Today, Tuesday, February 18, 2025, our German DAX
DAX shook off its temporary weakness after reaching a record high during trading. Also thanks to the friendly expectations on the US stock exchanges, where new records are also emerging after the long holiday weekend, our leading German index DAX was +0.22% higher at 22,849.26 points in the afternoon. After the moderate gains at the beginning of the week, the most important European stock markets also largely rose on Tuesday. The record for the EuroStoxx 50 
EUSTX50 is now 5,544 points. In the end, the Eurozone leading index EUSTX50 increased by +0.25% to 5,533.84 points. The Swiss SMI 
SMI rose by a moderate +0.15% to 12,893.98 points. The British FTSE 100 
UKX closed +0.01% lower at 8,766.73 points.The hope for a peace solution for Ukraine supported the markets overall. At a first meeting of US and Russian foreign ministers in Saudi Arabia after a break of several years, both sides agreed to talks about an end to the Ukraine war. "U.S. President Donald Trump's administration said on Tuesday it agreed to hold more talks with Russia on ending the war in Ukraine after an initial meeting that excluded Kyiv, a departure from Washington's previous approach that rallied U.S. allies to isolate Russian President Vladimir Putin. As the 4-1/2-hour meeting in the Saudi capital was under way, Russia hardened its demands, notably insisting it would not tolerate the NATO alliance granting membership for Kyiv." You can think whatever you want about Trump - especially here in Europe he is being written down by Democrats! Why? Because he is committed to peace - and not like most politicians in our so-called West, who have fallen into addiction, the rush for power, since 2008, militant green Keynes politics would be good for the majority of their own Population - not just your own reputation, let alone their own bank account. Whatever, let's leave that behind us! The Biden/Harris economic policy, let alone foreign policy, is history - and that's a good thing! “Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced that his visit to Saudi Arabia, scheduled for tomorrow, will be postponed until March 10."
“I learned that if you work hard and creatively, you can have just about anything you want, but not everything you want. Maturity is the ability to reject good alternatives in order to pursue even better ones.”

The consolidation of the
MMM share at a high level is in full swing. After the previous annual high in 2025, on January 31, 2025 at $155 - and the subsequent small bearish GAP between $152.13 and/or even $151.63 - the price action, on the one hand, has not (yet) reached a new annual high in 2025. On the other hand, the price action of traders and/or investors is still above the last bullish GAP from January 21, 2025 & January 17, 2025 between $145.00 & $141.66. Why is this so important? Because we can hypothesize that the small bearish gap was and is something like an exhaustion gap - as long as traders and/or investors do not send the price action above $152.13 again. And if the bullish GAP does not hold, we would have to argue that we have seen something like a short-term trend reversal formation at the beginning of 2025! Why? Because the bullish GAP was something like a confirmed positive breakout by the bulls and still is today, after traders and/or investors were not only not satisfied with the published quarterly figures in November 2024 - were much more disappointed. Which is why the price action should hold between $145.00 & $141.66 - the bullish GAP - and/or rather $141.34 in the first quarter of 2025, i.e. this February & March. So that, thanks to this consolidation, traders and/or investors can buy again with courage and confidence - and we will experience new annual highs again in the 2nd quarter of 2025. Which is admittedly a bullish scenario - which is why I formulated this long MMM 4XSetUp. But I still don't want to withhold the bearish scenario from you! Which? Namely, if traders and/or investors should send the price action below $141.34. Which would then not only confirm a short-term trend reversal formation at the beginning of 2025. But rather there would also be a risk that the bears would send the price action even further downwards! Yes, that this long MMM 4XSetUp could even stop out! But I don't want to scare you - on the contrary! That's why this long MMM 4XSetUp. But I didn't want to hide the dangers from you. Let alone spread unfounded hope.-------------------------------------------------
