Caterpillar Decline: An UpdateSix days ago I published a sell signal for CAT. I went short and covered once. Yesterday I published the continuation chart for the decline. I went short again. Today I covered my short position for a second nice profit. If CAT rallies next week, I will establish a new short position. TRADE-MAP suggests further weakness. Here are the letters and what "TRADE-MAP" means to me (first the letters in TRADE): 1. T : Time and space (Fractals); 2. R : Repeating Cycles; 3. A : Advancing Trend; 4. D : Declining Trend; 5. E : Energy in Phase Forces. Now the letters in MAP: 6. M : Momentum and Velocity; 7. A : Analysis of Structure; 8. P : Price Performance. There you have it: Don's personal "TRADE-MAP. Here are "Don's Top Ten Technicals": 1. The Ichimoku Cloud is SINKING, with lower prices now than structure to the left. 2. Prices are falling BELOW the cloud. 3. Prices are falling BELOW the thick red Ichimoku Cloud Conversion line. 4. The thick red conversion line is moving LOWER. 5. The thick black line is the Ki-Jun-Sen baseline of the Ichimoku Cloud and this is HEADING DOWN. 6. The indicator on the top of the page is RSI / Stochastic , and this is FAILING. 7. The top-side middle indicator is vortex and this is NEGATIVE (red over green). 8. The Top (bar-type) indicator measures the "phase energy", and this HAS CONTINUED BELOW THE ZERO LINE. This suggests the selling has more to go. 9. The red fractal arrows (not pictured) are DOWN. 10. Look to the far lower right on the chart, around $71.00. You will notice a yellowish line on the bottom (jaws), with black dots above (teeth), and a blue line (jaw) above the black dots. Now, all three are OPEN, correct? This is where I ask you to use your imagination and envision these three items as the "jaws, lips, and teeth of a NOW AWAKE, FEEDING alligator, and the alligator will continue to feed into the DOWN-TREND. CAT is a DOW-30 stock , and I feel this will contribute to a general market decline. One more consideration. The DXY has gone positive. A strong USD hurts CAT. So, "I am no bull-dozing" ! (Bad pun, as CAT makes bulldozers). I would like to close with this quote from Katherine Hepburn: “If you’re given a choice between money and sex appeal, take the money. As you get older, the money will become your sex appeal.” I sincerely hope my contributions are helpful to you. I enjoy Trading View and the many fine technical analysis charts that you all submit. May all of your trades go well. Don.

CAT Update: Setting Up For DeclineSix days ago I published a sell signal for CAT. I have gone short and covered once since then. I have gone short on CAT again. Here are the letters and what "TRADE-MAP" means to me (first the letters in TRADE): 1. T : Time and space (Fractals); 2. R : Repeating Cycles; 3. A : Advancing Trend; 4. D : Declining Trend; 5.

The top-side middle indicator is vortex and this is NEGATIVE (red over green). 8. The Top (bar-type) indicator measures the "phase energy", and this HAS JUST COMPLETED A ZERO-LINE CROSS-OVER TO THE DOWN SIDE. This suggests the selling has just begun and has more to go. 9.

CAT: Sell Signals, Part 2, Bearish Alt Pattern CompletedThis is part two for CAT. In part one we highlighted a five wave (and a-b-c corrective wave) harmonic pattern. In the above chart I am showing you a completed bearish Alt Bat pattern. Both parts one and two are in the same time horizon. I am trying to illustrate different ways of constructing harmonic patterns. Elliott waves can be of short, intermediate, and longer range time durations. The point I am trying to make is there are many negative indicators currently in effect for CAT. In my opinion, this stock is heading lower. I would like to close with a quote from Mark Twain: “If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're mis-informed.” I hope this has been entertaining, helpful, and informative. I hope all of your trades go well. Don.

CAT: 5 Impulse & 3 Corrective Waves Flash Sell Signal, Part 1CAT has flashed a sell signal. A five wave (with three corrective waves) harmonic pattern has been completed. Not shown on this chart is the recent strength in DXY. A stronger US Dollar hurts CAT via currency exchange rates. Besides the harmonic pattern evidence, what does the TRADE-MAP analysis suggest? Here are the letters and what "TRADE-MAP" means to me (first the letters in TRADE): 1. T : Time and space (Fractals); 2. R : Repeating Cycles; 3. A : Advancing Trend; 4. D : Declining Trend; 5. E : Energy in Phase Forces. Now the letters in MAP: 6. M : Momentum and Velocity; 7. A : Analysis of Structure; 8. P : Price Performance. There you have it: Don's personal "TRADE-MAP. "Don's Top Ten Technicals": 1. The Ichimoku Cloud is lower than in October, 2015. 2. Prices are falling into the cloud. 3. Prices are falling BELOW the thick red Ichimoku Cloud Conversion line. 4. The thick red conversion line is moving LOWER. 5. The thick black line is the Ki jun-Sen baseline of the Ichimoku Cloud and this is HEADING DOWN. 6. The indicator on the top of the page is RSI / Stochastic , and this is FAILING.. 7. The top-side middle indicator is vortex and this is NEGATIVE (red over green). 8. The Top (bar-type) indicator measures the "phase energy", and this HAS JUST STARTED A ZERO-LINE CROSS-OVER TO THE DOWN SIDE. This suggests the selling has just begun and has more to go. 9. The red fractal arrows (not pictured) are DOWN. 10. Look to the far middle right on the chart, around $72.79. You will notice a yellowish line on the bottom (jaws), with black dots above (teeth), and a blue line (jaw) still below the black dots (but starting to cross). Now, all three are BEGINNING TO CROSS AND OPEN, correct? This is where I ask you to use your imagination and envision these three items as the "jaws, lips, and teeth of a NOW AWAKENING, FEEDING alligator, and the alligator will feed into the DOWN-TREND. Another huge negative - the recent corrective waves (a-b-c) have BROKEN THE UP TREND REGRESSION LINE (large red arrow). The combination of all of these technical and harmonic patterns suggest a decline in CAT price. This is part one of two in this series. Please view part two, a slightly different harmonic pattern for CAT - but every bit as negative. I hope this article has been helpful, entertaining, and informative. May all of your trades go well. Don.

Dogs of the DOW - One Year EntranceThe current Dogs are: CVX, CAT, VX, PFE, CSCO, IBM, BA, MRK, INTC, XOM. CVX is waiting. CAT IS A BUY. Take a look at each one of those names on a DAILY CHART. Set only ONE Exponential moving average on the chart. Just one. Nothing else. A 33 Exponential Moving Average, offset by 3. As soon as you get a Daily Close of any of those stocks, above that 33 Exponential moving average, buy the stock, and hold it for the year, up to February 24th, 2017. That's it, that's the entire strategy

Harmonic analysis - Caterpillar probably on its way to 55$I always find it amazing how the media starts talking about crisis when it almost over. Although $CAT is still far from the important buy zone I'll mentioned below, $CAT had to lose almost half of its value for this guy to start paying attention: www.cnbc.com (Jim Cramer realizing the $CAT is in trouble). In fact, the bearish opportunity on $CAT was about a year ago as $CAT created weekly triple top with bearish harmonics - on Sep 20th (2014!) I posted a bearish setup for $CAT with the bearish weekly Bat that completed near 112$ (see the setup posted a year ago - goo.gl) The final target zone of this bearish setup was the strong structure zone near 80$ - 30$ decline from its peak. When $CAT broke below 75$, the bottom of the weekly structure zone, it actually created a very strong bearish signal that suggests that $CAT will not create higher highs any time soon. 80$ Became a major resistance zone right now (weekly zone) that should prevent $CAT from any longer term rally attempt. Still, recommending to sell $CAT now, is irresponsible (Yes Mr. Cramer). $CAT reached a weekly support zone (64-65$) that can create short term pullback, perhaps towards the 80$ zone. Buying $CAT right now is too risky, and If' I'd planned to buy it here, I'd wait for at least some sort of daily reversal pattern or at least a weekly Pinbar pattern. The better opportunity will be if (and I believe ..when) $CAT will decline towards the 55$ zone. The 55$ is a strong weekly structure zone (support) and the completion zone of a bullish Butterfly pattern. 55$ should definitely be marked as potential Buy Zone for those who seek to buy $CAT stock (obviously you need to look for smaller time frames and seek for confirmation signals before jumping in front of this speeding bearish train). So 65$ and 55$ are two potential buy zones (with clear advantage to 55$). Both of these buy zones have the same target zone - 75-80$. 80$ will a major sell zone to monitor over the next weeks/months. If $CAT will rally (Year End Rally), 80$ will be the zone to monitor for possible selling opportunities....but, pay attention also to 88$. A weekly False Break to 88$ isn't something I'd rule out (not likely at this stage but put it in mind). One last thing.. If, the highly unlikely scenario that $CAT will break below 50$ will occur, there's also a bullish Bat completing near 30$ (32$). It really looks highly unlikely but.. hey.. no one thought that $CAT will lose almost half of its value in about a year If you like this analysis, please press the like and follow.
