Bullish H&S in 3M Corp. Shares of MMM look to be forming an inverse H&S pattern that looks it could be a favorable setup for the bull camp. It's deeply oversold with an R.S.I. reading of 22.9 and is holding the neckline support, so I think it's headed higher.
Shares are in the buy zone right now at $185, which is the neck of the pattern. Look for minor resistance around the gap down at $197-200. I doubt this will pose much of a challenge for the shares, although it may provide another buying point.
Major resistance comes in at the target of the pattern at $218-224, which I believe will be reached prior to the next earnings release on July 25th.
Set your stop-loss beneath the head, around $177-179. That gives you a nice risk-reward ratio... -$8 (-4.3%) to the downside and +$39 (+21.8%). That's a 5.1:1 bullish ratio. I'm a buyer for sure!
MMM trade ideas
MMMMFI showing strong oversold levels. The distance between MA line and Bollinger Bands leads me to believe there is room for further pullback.
Fib Retracement Levels support this hypothesis, though the pullback could stop at the cyan line, a very strong level of support.
Once bounce occurs, short run ending at .618 Fib Line. Possibility Ichimoku Cloud changes and dips below .618 line, becoming a slightly lower line of resistance.
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.
