IBM trade ideas
$IBM Big Blue Trying to turn
The once Mighty IBM has finally seemed to have found a bottom after the 20% decline post earnings.
Within some very Volatile sessions IBM actually caught a bid as a VALUE tech stock.
Oversold indicators are reversing.
Targets to upside
$117.50 - Point Of Control (redline)
$119.35 - 20MA
$125.00 - Volume Gap and horizontal resistance
IBM Long IdeaWhile the market sold off on Thursday and Friday, IBM stayed strong both days. I expect it to continue on Monday and possibly throughout the week. IBM insider buying jumped this week which could possibly indicate something big is in the works. Looking to day trade and possibly swing as well.
IBM in bearish patternFurther decrease of price into the falling channel and a breakdown price below the lower channel trend line will signify a bearish pattern. Best to await confirmation if the price goes into the falling channel.
Recent quarterly results have been very bad - missed target by 26%, declining revenue and no forward guidance provided either.
No potential of DMA support as price is now substantially below the major 3.
Hammer doji, which was within the downward channel did provide a price increase above the channel but failed to ignite a recovery: the increase was small, not backed up by a major volume increase and was followed the next day by a decrease back to the upper channel.
RSI is over sold.
019. PIGGISH PLAY - Short IBM's Mediocre EarningsIBM is so... so.
What I mean to say is that IBM is the epitome of mediocrity. The stock price ebbs and flows with the zeitgeist of the overall market. Seeing how this stock has paved its way into a well-established, clear downtrend, the play is rather straightforward given the in-line status update last night:
1) When you see yellow flames, they either:
i) diverge into green flames and move to the top trendline, or,
ii) diverge into orange flames --> red flames and down to the bottom trendline
2) Given their unsurprising mediocre report yesterday, I'd bet the farm that its the latter this time around
3) If using equity, enter on the open, set stops and limits according to the chart's annotations
4) If using puts, I recommend entering 120 strikes (10/30 expiration) and holding until ~105-110 for a solid premium flip
Today's market is primed for shorting the mediocre companies because of the fearful/bearish undertone established yesterday.
IBM is just the tip of the average iceberg, yet it will slip and slide just as well.

$IBM Still bullish after posting less than expected Earnings$IBM Still bullish after posting less than expected Earnings, the PEAD cone projection is showing bullish expectancy for the stock, Price is currently trading on the lower end close to the lower boundary of the projected cone.
Thoughts on IBMLooking at the 3d chart for IBM and it does not look too promising. They have reduced their buyback activity, which was one of the reasons the stock did so well for so long. RSI looking bleak and the implied volatility is starting to go up.
Unless something wild were to happen, I would expect this to see further downside.
Note: This is the 3d chart, so i am expecting it to chop in this range for a little bit longer before it continues down.

IBM Earnings report will be published todayNYSE:IBM The American technology giant publishes its quarterly earnings report with a very optimistic forecast.
The report will be published after the market closes.
Earlier this month the company announced that it is splitting itself into two separate public companies, a move that could attract new investors due to the result expected - a cut in the share price.
In recent years, the company has been mentioned as irrelevant and unable to keep the technology development speed like other leading tech companies such as Apple and Samsung but, with more than 350,000 employees serving clients in 170 countries and a great roadmap for long term development projects, IBM is absolutely still is considered a tech giant.
Analysts expect a Gross margin of 48.4% for the quarter.
Over the last 2 years, IBM has beaten EPS estimates 100% of the time and has beaten revenue estimates 38% of the time.
Revenue in 2019: $77 billion
Quarterly Revenue Forecast: $2.58 billion

$IBM Reversal into Earnings
Possible reversal trade setting up in IBM as old tech may finally catch a bid again as the
FOMO stocks get a reality check on the back of FSLY pre announcement.
Symmetry on previous declines and we will look for symmetry on any rally to the .5-.618 Fibonacci level.
IBM Earnings - stock should trade flatCan't get a read for the chart. Expectations are probably priced in unless there is a massive beat or miss.
#IBM LASER PARTY!! LONG TRY TO EXPLAIN IN THE CHART WHAT I'M LOOKING AT.
FROM THE HIGH AT FEB 5 AND RETRACE LOOKING TO BREAK THE BLUE LINE, ANY REJECTION WILL BRING PRICE TO 114 ( BUY AS MUCH YOU CAN THERE), IF THAT HAPPENS LOOK RE ENTRY ONCE BLUE LINE IS BROKEN.
$131 SOME LEVEL FROM LONG AGO (IMPORTANT)
WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO HAPPEN:
AFTER ENTRY LONG, QUICK POP TO T1, TOUCH RED LINE ABOVE AND T1 BECOMES SUPPORT TO HEAD TO T2.
THE RESISTANCE AT T3 IS MASSIVE , EXPECT TOUCH AN REJECT OR OVER SHOOT AND RETRACE AGAIN, MAYBE RED LINE COMING FROM 20 MAR 20 SO LOOK TO RE ENTRY LONG THERE.
ONCE 175 IS BROKEN WILL SEE UP TARGETS, HAVE FUN!
IBM EarningsChart pattern looks familiar, and you know they gotta pump something to make the Dow go up for a double top.
Earnings Monday after close. In for a handful of calls. Safe play would be to wait until after they announce, but what the heck, lol. I've seen them pump this crap even on less than stellar earnings.
