Industrial stocks in troubleI see DOW is running out of stem. I just bought puts of CAT strike 325 expire July 12. You can just short the stock as well. If the price pulls back to test the 334 resistance I'll buy more puts. The double top also looks very bearish.Shortby ArturoLPublished 220
CAT blue chip industrial LONGCAT on the daily chart has trended down more or less since the last earnings beat 6-7 weeks ago. It has now found support at the 0.5 and 0.612 Fibonacci levels confluent with the mean VWAP anchored back 6 months. The Bollinger Band Trend shows a narrow band with for the first time this year. The Relative Trend Index is negative but about to go neutral. I see this as opportunity to take a long trade well ahead of the next earnings. I assume CAT may have solid earnings in the current quarter as its equipment production is purchased by those in the construction industry making expenditures for residential as well as road construction and repair. The Chris Moody RSI indicator shows both lines inflecting in bullish divergence which supports a long trade.Longby AwesomeAvaniUpdated 3
Caterpillar: Digging DeeperOur forecast for Caterpillar suggests that the green wave is currently being developed. We reckon with further price drops in the short term before the beige wave IV can conclude. The pending low should then initiate a trend reversal, which should enable an upward move above $402.16. However, in the context of our 35% probable alternative scenario, the trend would reverse earlier. In this case, the beige wave alt.III would form a new high above $402.16.by MarketIntelPublished 112

Caterpillar (CAT): Journey to New HeightsCaterpillar (CAT): NYSE:CAT For Caterpillar, we are currently dealing with Wave (3), which is soon approaching its maximum at the 461.8% level of $385. Following this, we expect to see Wave (4) and then Wave (5), marking the end of our largest cycle, which concludes in Wave I. This sets the stage for building larger positions over the long term, although this will take considerable time, so our focus remains on the nearer term for now. On the 2-day chart, it's apparent that we are approaching a significant resistance. The 461.8% level at $385 coincides with the 100% extensions for the maximum of a potential Wave 5 at 100%. Therefore, we anticipate encountering substantial selling pressure on Caterpillar, where we intend to find our entries for Wave (4). This process will take time, as there is still some room to move upwards, and we won't place aggressive entries just yet. We might turn before reaching this exact level, as it's not always necessary to hit these levels precisely.Longby freeguy_by_wmcUpdated 114
Paving the Future of Growth and Innovation in Heavy MachineryNYSE:CAT Has broken a previous resistance at $285 and looking to make new all time highs. From here we are going into uncharted territories but targeting $345 #Bullish NYSE:CAT will continue to be a strong performer as it is well aligned with key global trends favoring infrastructure development and economic recovery. With governments worldwide allocating substantial budgets to construction and mining projects, Caterpillar stands to gain significantly as a leading provider of heavy machinery. As the global economy rebounds from the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for Caterpillar's diverse range of construction and mining equipment is poised to rise. Caterpillar's strong position in the mining industry boom, coupled with its history of returning value to shareholders through dividends and buybacks, makes it an attractive investment for those seeking exposure to the industrial and construction sectors.

Caterpillar Could Be Holding an UptrendCaterpillar broke out to new highs a month ago, and now some traders may think an uptrend is in place. The first pattern on today’s chart is the close on January 25. It was slightly above $300 and the previous record close on December 27. CAT consolidated above that level for the following week, potentially reflecting investor comfort with the new highs. The industrial stock then proceeded to jump above $330 after earnings beat estimates. It pulled back to consolidate and a short-term falling trendline emerged. CAT broke above it last week. (It also formed a bullish inside candle on the weekly chart.) Finally, the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) has remained above the 21-day EMA. That may reflect short-term bullishness.

A conclusive analysis of Caterpillar. Hello What is very important for me in this cart is the lower boundary line of Ending Diagonal (if it is correct) and also Blue channel. If my counting is correct so we will lower boundary line break out in the next days and this trend should respect to that blue channel. Please consider volume correlation with sub-millennium counting. My strategy for this chart is to wait for lower boundary (Orange line) break out and then see that rebound in the confirmation area 1 and then get a sell position. Thanks Shortby AMA_FXPublished 2

CAT, BUT NOT THE MEOW KIND, MORE THE PLANET KILLIN' KIND. At some point climate might matter with this stock, idk. Are they doing EV? I haven't done much fundamental research. Trends marked. All support. All end up taking the price in a bearish direction. Meaning we may have seen the top or will be seeing top on earnings. There is a potential scenario where it breaks out on the underside of a trend and move to 400, but it's the least likely of the possibilities. More likely, we break down into that 250 range and maybe even 150. everything is pretty clearly marked. As trends break, they will likely become a rejection trend.

Unfortunately, the great industrial revolution of China is long gone, their population in decline due to fewer births and more deaths reducing their billions. Their consumer-based economy has slammed into Market Saturation as their population continues to age at a faster pace than any nation on earth.
