3M (MMM): Building a Bullish Case Despite HeadwindsWith 3M's earnings yesterday, it’s the perfect moment to analyze the stock and assess the upcoming opportunities. The company is expected to have benefited from its restructuring actions, such as headcount reduction, likely lowering costs and improving margins this quarter. Its disciplined spending and restructuring savings could also boost profitability. Despite these positive factors, challenges in 3M’s packaging and expression, along with home and auto care divisions, may drag down its performance. Lower consumer retail spending on durable goods is expected to impact its Consumer segment's results. From a technical standpoint, 3M’s surge from the support zone recently was strong enough to shift the weekly trend from bearish to bullish. Such a structural change on the weekly chart is significant, as it's not common to see such a clean trend reversal. However, as often happens with sharp upward movements, we are now seeing a bearish divergence on the RSI. This divergence doesn’t mean a pullback is imminent but suggests that one could happen eventually. Looking at the daily chart, there may be potential for 3M to move higher if wave 1 isn’t complete. Even if earnings were positive, we should still witness a pullback. We are looking to build a position by layering bids at key levels. Our first target entry is the gap high, followed by the gap low, which aligns with the 50% Fibonacci level. If the price continues to drop, we’ll continue adding bids down to the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level. Our stop loss will be set below wave (2) to safeguard the trade. A break below this level would invalidate the bullish outlook and could result in a drop to $56, though this scenario seems less probable for the near future.Longby freeguy_by_wmc114

MMM - due for a healthy pullback?I like the recent run up but did it go too far, too quickly? I think so. From a simple perspective, this stock is approximately 27% above the 200-day MA (looking at a year chart). This is by far the farthest it's been away from the 200-day (up or down) this year. On a two year chart, the farthest it got away from the 200-day was around the 27% range. At that time, it was the below the 200-day and moved up nicely. Never a fan when stable companies get too far away from the 200-day on a yearly chart. I like this as a short term play. I actually went with a straddle because the data I found below.

3M Company Is Back To Bullish Mode3M Company with ticker MMM was trading in a larger A-B-C correction within a higher degree wave IV for the last 5 years, but we have been warning about strong support with equal wavelength of waves A=C already back in 2023. As you can see now in 2024, we can see a strong rebound after a completed projected higher degree A-B-C correction within wave IV, so wave V can be now in play that can send the price back to all-time highs, especially if breaks channel resistance line and 175 level.Longby ew-forecast2

MMM, patience will payMMM (3M Company) saw a significant surge of +22.99% on Friday's close, which might suggest extraordinary earnings, but that's not the case. The earnings report was in line with expectations and didn't reveal anything particularly noteworthy. The substantial rise in the stock price can be attributed to a short squeeze, where trapped short traders were forced to cover their positions, leading to continuous buying pressure. Analysis: Earnings Report: The earnings did not indicate exceptional performance, which means the stock's movement is driven by technical factors rather than fundamentals. Short Squeeze: Many traders who were short on common shares or involved in short calls/long puts found themselves trapped, forcing them to cover their positions. This created a buying frenzy, pushing the stock price higher. Liquidity Level Break: The price broke past a key liquidity level on the weekly chart at $115.38. Once this level was tested, shorts likely attempted to push the price down, but the reversal never happened, leading to continuous short-covering. Key Levels to Watch: $125/$135 Levels: Critical resistance levels. If the price shows bearish behavior under $125, it could be a signal to short for a retracement back to $115. Conversely, if the price breaks above the high of the earnings PEG candle, the next test would be around $134. Weekly and Monthly Fair Value Gaps: The high of the weekly fair value gap (FVG) is $128.50, which aligns with Friday's high. Rejections around this level could prompt a short trade with a stop at the pivot high. Additionally, there are FVGs around $130 and $135-$142, which should be considered in trading decisions. Plan: Bearish Under $125: Watch for bearish price action under $125 to set up a short swing trade targeting $115. Break Above $128.50: If price action confirms a break above $128.50, the next target would be a test of $134. Any rejections around $134-$135 could present shorting opportunities. MMM's price action on Friday is largely a result of a short squeeze rather than fundamental strength from earnings. Traders should pay close attention to how the price reacts at key levels ($125, $128.50, $134-$135) for potential trading opportunities, either for a continuation of the rally or a retracement. By monitoring these levels and waiting for price action confirmation, traders can better manage their entries and exits in the stock.Shortby thinkCNE3

3M Pulls Back3M is emerging as a potential turnaround story following years of downside. Now trend followers may take interest in its latest pullback. The first pattern on today’s chart is the trio of high-volume bullish candles since early March. MMM raised guidance, spun off its Solventum NYSE:SOLV health-care division and then ended with a consensus-beating quarterly report. The result has been a succession of higher lows and higher highs. Is a new uptrend emerging? Next is the July 2023 high of $94.59. Prices stalled at this level in early April and bounced above it on May 8. The 50-day simple moving average is in roughly the same place. If prices remain above those spots, it may suggest a more significant turn has occurred. Finally, stochastics have dipped toward oversold territory. TradeStation has, for decades, advanced the trading industry, providing access to stocks, options and futures. See our Overview for more.
