3M (MMM) Bear Flagging into EarningsIn this January bullish market, bear flag breakdowns have mostly led to flat lines rather than massive drops, but given 3M's China business, and a week already full of dismal earnings reports, it can be expected that this bear flag will play out as a minor decline in the short-term stock price. There is fresh demand in the low to mid 180's, and even if it falls below our target of 187 (very possible), it will likely bounce back into a mid-range demand zone.
I'd short it with or without earnings tomorrow.

The brief trade analysis presented above is my predicted direction and requires multiple different indicators and confluence factors prior to validating a trade opportunity.
3M - Macro outlook and planI am starting to develop a framework for how I manage my portfolio.
Here is a glimpse into the TA/FA view, and summaries I am preparing for each chart, to always know where I'm at, relative to a company I'm invested in, or any asset I might be speculating.
Charts will be directly associated with a spreadsheet, where I'll organize my asset mix, sizing, and positioning.
$MMM Rising Wedge Pincher PLAY w/ 200 MA LOOMING!$MMM is your stock if you like rising pincher plays.... trend lines on price action shown in black on this chart... treding upwards and making higher highs and higher lows, but the 200 MA is looming of SO many stock within the DOW30 right now on these DAILY charts... if it is respected by the price action... the likely outcome will be prolonged stagnation moving forward with expectations of a solid 2019 fiscal year ahead within the US economy.... IF THE 200 MA gets busted with som UMPF... well the price will then climb in my opinion... watch how the price busts out of the rising wedge demonstrated by the trend lines in black... if price goes through upward trend line; expect BULLS TO RUN... if bottom wedge/trend line is busted... TIMBERRRRRRRR! lol
