Long term short CAT to $143I have absolutely nailed this stock in the past (with my dowsing)... Like the lows at $162 wayyy back when. I lost track of it though & was of course disappointed once I saw the rally. I didn't know what I had! Now though, I have today's date as a time to check up on CAT & isn't it interesting it's right near it's highs?! (I start salivating a bit) Dates in my work are often reversals and I did have a date at those lows at $162. I actually, had price too. Today's date was given on 2 occasions earlier this summer when I must've check in CAT, but I haven't been following it lately. What is the dowsing suggesting? CAT is at "very long term resistance" and I asked what price it goes to, which gave me $141, and a percent down of 50%, which conveniently lands it at $143! I'm expecting this to occur over the next 14 months. I may have missed the rally, but I shall not miss this. Be aware as the market pops later this week CAT may get to $288 +/-, & there is a near term date of 9/12. In the big picture I don't think it matters. Also, be aware it may have a choppy range for a while too.

CAT, Formed EXPLOSIVE BULL-FLAG-BREAKOUT, Extension Prevails!Hello There! Welcome to my new analysis about CAT Stock Price Action Analysis on the Weekly Timeframe Perspectives. The CAT Price Action recently showed up with a highly important dynamic and in this case a major formation has been formed that caught my attention. The CAT earnings through the recent quarters look pretty damn solid and the equity-to-debt ratio held stable through the recent quarters indicating a substantially fundamental base from where CAT has a strong potential to be backed from a financial market investors open-interest perspective. While other sector stocks showed up with pullbacks CAT moved on to form new highs. Such dynamics are pointing to a interesting stock price-action dynamic that should be considered in the schedule. When looking at my chart now I have marked there this huge bull-flag-formation which CAT has built during the last times. Within this formation CAT moved on to form a new higher high exceeding the previous one into an all time high as well as several higher lows that supported the bull-flag-formation to be completed with the breakout above the upper boundary. CAT also bounced several times within the 65-EMA in blue and the 25-SMA in green building substantial support-structures in combination with the main ascending-trend-line. The wave-count within the bull-flag-formation has been completed appropriately and from there on the final breakout above the upper-boundary has been validated by the bullish volume. The major formation that CAT recently completed here has now activated the upper target-zones as marked in the chart together with the major wave-C to emerge out of the breakout-origin. The fact that the waves A and B have already completed give the breakout and wave-C extension a fundamental base for the expansion to show up within the next times. The setup and indications that CAT provided here are delicate for an main positioning into the bullish direction and it has to be remarked that not every stock is showing such concrete factors into the appropriate direction this is why CAT is a main considerable stock-pick that we will keep following on the watchlist. Within the near terms a final setup-determination above the upper-boundary of the formation as seen in my chart is likely and from there on the wave-C expansion-wave will determine to reach out the upper-target-zones. Once the zones have been reached further assumptions need to be made. Especially a continued healthy equity management of the company can support the bullish case massively. In this manner, thank you everybody for watching the analysis, support from your side is greatly appreciated. VP

Caterpillar: Metamorphosis 🐛🦋The Caterpillar share price has been experiencing ups and downs lately and has not quite been able to approach the resistance at $293.88. However, we anticipate that this breakthrough is imminent. With the low placed at the end of August, the price is currently in the turquoise wave 5, which should reach the green target zone between $325.21 and 358.93 and represents the end of the superior white wave (I). A fall below the support at $250.89 would put a spanner in the works. Then, our 36% likely alternative would activate, and the price would move further down.

📈📊 #ChartPattern Alert! 📈📊📈📊 #ChartPattern Alert! 📈📊 📈 Ascending Channel 📈 📈 What is an Ascending Channel? The Ascending Channel is a bullish chart pattern formed by two parallel trendlines containing the price action within a rising channel. The lower trendline connects higher lows, while the upper trendline joins higher highs. 📈 How to Identify: Draw a trendline connecting at least two higher lows (ascending support) and another trendline connecting at least two higher highs (ascending resistance). 📈 What it Signals: The Ascending Channel suggests a healthy uptrend, with buyers stepping in at higher lows, showing increasing demand. The price tends to move between these parallel lines, providing potential trading opportunities. 📈 Trade Strategy: Consider buying near the lower trendline support and selling near the upper trendline resistance. Implement a stop-loss to manage risk in case of a breakdown below the channel. Remember to combine the Ascending Channel pattern with other technical indicators and conduct thorough research before making any trading decisions. Happy charting and trading! 📈💹

Has CAT Run out of Lives?Caterpillar has been leading a rally in industrial stocks, but now some traders may expect a pullback. Notice the gap to new record levels on August 1 after earnings beat estimates. CAT pushed to another high the following session but failed to hold and closed in the red. That kind of “shooting star” candlestick is a potential reversal pattern. Second, the surge pushed Wilder’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) far into overbought territory. It’s now retreating from that condition. Third, a narrowing price range since the rally produced a triangle. Prices broke the bottom of that formation yesterday. They also closed below their 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) for the first time this month. Traders looking to the downside may target the $270 area or lower, which corresponds to the recent gap. The macro backdrop could also worry some investors, given China’s economic weakness lately.

Bullish Pennant on Caterpillar IncA bullish pennant is a chart pattern that often indicates a continuation of a uptrend after a brief consolidation phase. It is formed when there is a sharp price incline (flagpole) followed by a period of consolidation, represented by converging trendlines that resemble a pennant shape. This pattern suggests that the buying pressure remains strong, and after the consolidation, the uptrend is likely to resume. Entry Point: At the breakout The entry point for a bullish pennant trading signal is when the price breaks above the upper trendline of the pennant pattern. This breakout confirms the continuation of the uptrend and signals a potential buying opportunity. If consolidation continues inside bearish pennant pattern entry point can be adjusted for decline of upper line of a pennant. Stop Loss: $281.00 To manage risk, it is advisable to place a stop-loss order just below the lower trendline of the pennant pattern. If the price breaks below this level, it may invalidate the bullish signal, and the trade should be exited to limit potential losses. If consolidation continues inside bearish pennant pattern stop loss should be adjusted for incline of bottom trendline of a pennant. Target Price 1: $310.00 The target price for bearish pennant can be estimated by measuring the height of the flagpole (the initial sharp price incline) and projecting it upward from the breakout point. Target price for bears: 260.00

Cup and Handle/Rising WedgeEarnings beat. Conflicting patterns as a cup is bullish and the wedge is bearish. Rising wedges are not valid until the bottom line is broken, so this wedge is not valid as of yet. Rising wedges can also break to the upside which this one did. Some would say a RW is caused by FOMO. It exhibits too much excitement and it causes too much supply. When price comes back down to break the wedge, there will be excessive selling but not until then. I have not seen a RW that was not eventually broken but they can be a long term pattern depending on market sentiment. The cup reached EL (long entry) level with the earnings beat. Targets for a cup are calculated using the depth of the cup. T1 has been reached. Targets calculated but the rising wedge could mess with this cup and cause a throwback. This is a large Rising Wedge (RW). It remains to be seen. There is a falling wedge at the bottom of the cup. This is opposite of a RW. Both lines slope down and converge at the apex. A Falling Wedge is bullish when the top line is broken. No recommendation

CAT breakaway gapWill this breakaway gap in NYSE:CAT establish a new uptrend? Gaps occur when the low price of the current day is higher than the high price of the previous day. The majority of gaps are filled over time, but a sudden gap fill usually indicates a trend reversal. A breakaway gap occurs at the beginning of a trend after a period of consolidation, similar to what we've observed with CAT in October 2022 and in a downtrend in March 2023. We can project the outcome after a breakaway gap by measuring the vertical distance from the most recent swing low to the middle of the gap, and then using that same distance from the center of the gap to project the next local top of the trend. For this opportunity I will take advantage of the pullback from the market reaction to Fitch downgrading the US credit rating to enter below yesterdays close. I'll target ~$301 to take profit, which is near the top of the measured move and aligned with the 1.618 fib of the retrace from January to May. My initial stop loss is set at the gap open $270 and will be adjusted as a trailing stop to protect profit as the trend matures.

DANGER | Caterpillar Inc Short 🐛The indicators of economic distress are vast. Sometimes I don't know what to post, but you have to post something to trick the little AI bot police. Anyway, lately things have been feeling a lot like the summer / autumn of 2008. Rampant fomo everywhere, but you can tell the market is getting tired, after a ridiculous full-employment rally. So now, we have CAT (and plenty of others) showing us highs and corrective formations; meanwhile - the UNRATE remains in an increasingly unsustainable territory. Save your money.

Beneficiaries of US-CHINA trade agreementwww.scmp.com When US gets ready its stockpile of soybeans to export to China after the agreement is signed, they will need big tractors and agricultural equipment to assist in its export. Caterpillar , the household name of US tractors would be one of the beneficiary of this US-China trade deal. Is it a coincidence that the bearish trend line of this company has just ended recently on 29 Oct and prices are now slightly moving sideway before picking up steam and effort to charge higher ? I would be initiating a buy position at 141.05 with a profit target of 172.
