Caterpillar is no BIG FAT WORM

We can clearly the Descending Triangle in the share price movement that developed since the beginning of 2018 that could be very positive for CAT, should be see a break and close above resistance level at $142/share. The share price enjoyed a nice bounce with its 14-day RSI moving out of Oversold territory. We’ve seen the recent negative momentum turning somewhat, but the short-term trend still seems to be negative. Should the bounce continue off current levels and we see a positive turn in momentum, we could see first resistance levels at $129, with both the 50-day and 200-day moving averages then acting as a very strong resistance. A break and close above these levels could very much see CAT test the top of the triangle at $142. Thomson Reuters consensus target price on the company is $148.65.

Should the negative trend however continue, the level to watch on the downside would be $112.30, which has been acting as a firm support level for the past 2 years.
