Warren Buffett IBM train taking offIBM is the third highest valued holding of Berkshire Hathaway. Mega accumulation in strong hands. From what seen in his other holdings, he treats his stock well.
Careful of investing on blind speculation, and have some of your own TA to back it up. But from what I see, the last dip was swallowed, so that price range would be an ideal area to enter at low risk if we get a retrace.

IBM: Hoping For Long Out Of Very Strong ResistanceExpecting a nice move out of IBM soon. The resistance is very strong, and once broken we could see a strong move as a decision has finally been made.
We had a nice bullish kicker yesterday trading day. Whilst the days trading before that supported on the 50EMA. Creating a morning star/kicker signal at this level.
Waiting to see strong buying before I enter this trade.
Last week's Elite Zone winner struggles with resistance$IBM was one of our winners, in the Elite Zone last week with an impressive breakout of a descending trading channel we've been monitoring. Now, when it is at the top of my buying zone, the question is, can $IBM make it above 165$ to continue to my secondary target level - The 200 SMA line?
It all started with a bullish AB=CD pattern on the weekly 61.8 Fib level.. so the potential is there. Will we see another retracement lower, before the next rally?
Bullish longer term, cautious short term
IBM $164.52: Confirms a higher base on rallying through FebruaryIBM rebounded off the 153.40 low (March 13, 2015) through February’s 162.49 high to confirm a higher base over the former and trigger further strength towards 165.59 (October 31, 2014 range high) ahead of last October’s 170.33 gap low (October 20, 2014 high) near the 200 day moving average currently at 169.53. 160.35/158.81 (March 20/19, 2015 lows) serves as the immediate support zone where buyers are expected to step in.
Keep knocking on the door and it'll eventually break.Been watching this level since the start of the year, it seems that bulls refuse to give up IBM.
Knocking on the resistance of $164 again and again over the past few months. Eventually, bears behind the door might give way.
Open: 164.69
S/L: 162.01
T/P: 178.07 (gaps)
Earnings might be the catalyst, I've my algorithmic orders waiting.
IBM, from long to shortMy long entry at 160 & 161 were unsuccessful. Price turned against me
haha caught with my pants down
Make some losses and so quickly turned short at 159.70 and immediately turn short, next quick target around 153.70
RSi trendline was broken, but overall bullish divergence still in play until signal break below prior RSI low.
IBM's well oiled wheel could be about to drop off. Just read this article on www.marketwatch.com
"IBM
• Sector: technology
• Market value: $160 billion
• 2014 return: -13%
While most large caps have risen from October’s slide, IBM has been left behind. That means a great buying opportunity for long-term investors.
IBM is one of those mega-cap tech stocks that have a place in almost every portfolio. For starters, there’s the 2.7% dividend yield and a history of payouts since 1916. There’s also the stability that comes with a company that does roughly $100 billion in annual sales and sports over $14 billion in cash and investments on its balance sheet."

One could dig real deep and find all sorts of justifiable reasons why such reputable company should continue it's upward price trajectory in to indefinite future.
However, from the price history on this chart, I suspect that we have just completed a 5 wave cycle that could be also a larger 5 wave cycle that began from bottom of 1929-1932 Wall Street crash. See the chart of Dow as surrogate for the sector.
Even ignoring the price history before 1980, having completed 5 wave cycle, EW guidelines suggest price correcting to wave 4 low of one cycle degree lower. That suggest a ball park figure in the region of $70-50 area.
Is it the right time to buy this stock or many others like it. I think not. Rather wait for few more year and pick it up at bargain basement price may be $50 or lower.
Or better still consider long term far out of the money PUT Options and sit back.

IBM, short term longUpon releasing the bad earning results, IBM gap down and followed through to channel bottom as can be seen from the massive volume. I considered this as climatic selling.
Price move upward and got rejected by 8ema again and touching channel bottom again on Thursday.
Both long at 161, then 160 were triggered, the short-term target is 172.4
Will $IBM Hold 165.97? It's unlikely but may take the market Today's price weakness to hold above 170 was a big concern and a sign of big guys are not ready to jump in now. If what we see is accurate, there is higher chance that $IBM may finally retest 155 area next 3-months and that could be a market indicator for what to come next 3 months. If you decide to take a short position, make your stop lose at 172.5 with target prices 155 and 145 area.
