MMM trade ideas
3M short idea A major part of our US30 analysis is to carefully analyze the 30 companies that take part of the dow jones I made the list on my notes and will now be giving my insight of where these companies should be heading in the short future.... ill say something they're not going up for sure!!!!
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.
ASK IV is 18.24 with historical IV being at 39.13

Why Did 3M Stock Soar Despite Tariff Clouds?Shares of industrial giant 3M Co. experienced a significant rally following the release of its first-quarter 2025 financial results. The surge was primarily driven by the company reporting adjusted earnings and total net sales that exceeded Wall Street's expectations. This performance signaled a stronger operational footing than analysts had anticipated.
The positive results stemmed from several key factors highlighted in the report. 3M demonstrated solid organic sales growth and achieved notable adjusted operating margin expansion. This margin improvement reflects the effectiveness of management's ongoing cost-cutting initiatives and strategic focus on operational efficiency, contributing directly to double-digit growth in earnings per share during the quarter.
While the company did warn about potential future impacts on 2025 profit due to rising global trade tensions and tariffs, management also detailed proactive strategies to mitigate these risks. Plans include supply chain adjustments, pricing actions, and leveraging their global manufacturing network, potentially increasing U.S. production. The company maintained its full-year adjusted earnings guidance, notably stating that this outlook already incorporates the anticipated tariff effects. Investors likely responded positively to the combination of strong quarterly performance and clear actions to address identified headwinds.
3M Wave Analysis – 27 March 2025
- 3M reversed from resistance area
- Likely to fall to support level 147.00
3M recently reversed down from the resistance area between the key resistance level 154.00 (which has been reversing the price from the end of January) and the upper daily Bollinger Band.
The downward reversal from this resistance area created the two consecutive Japanese candlesticks reversal patterns Doji – which highlights the strength of this resistance level.
Given the strength of the resistance level 154.00 and the overbought daily Stochastic, 3M can be expected to fall to the next support level 147.00 (low of the previous correction 2).
3M: Higher High ExpectedAt the start of the year, MMM continued to rise higher before the rally temporarily transitioned into a consolidation phase. February brought slight downward pressure, but after a brief spike back to $141 last week, buying interest returned noticeably. This triggered a strong upswing, with the stock gaining nearly 10% in just a few trading days. As a result, we have identified an internal five-wave structure within the turquoise wave 5 and now primarily assume that the magenta wave is already unfolding. This wave should extend further upward, marking the completion of the broader magenta wave (1). Afterward, we anticipate a significant wave (2) correction, which could also begin earlier. In this 35% likely alternative scenario, the stock would experience a premature sell-off below the $131.40 support, with wave alt.(2) eventually reaching our magenta Target Zone between $106.04 and $86.20.
MMM Technical Outlook: Potential Buy SetupMMM is in a strong bullish uptrend after finding support around the 76 zone in March 2024. The stock has posted positive earnings for four consecutive quarters, meeting expectations. Trading above the daily trendline, it's likely to fill the gap formed after January earnings, setting up a new higher low.
Entry Suggestions:
Buy 1: 142.5
Buy 2: 135.5
Stop Loss (on closing basis): 124
For exits, consider a tiered approach. In the near term, aim to book profits around 154.4 and 172. Looking ahead, there's potential for further gains with targets at 182 and 215, although these may take longer to materialize. A weekly bearish divergence is forming and could influence price action around the upcoming earnings on April 29. Until then, the price seems well-positioned to hit the initial targets, making this an attractive trading opportunity.
Happy trading!

Furthermore, the stock has also broken out of the corrective descending channel, which marks the end of the corrective move. Currently, the stock is preparing for its 5th wave impulse move and should see strong action up towards 168.00. Golden cross of the EMAs can be seen also.

3M (MMM): Patience Before Next StepsWall Street analysts estimate that 3M will report quarterly earnings of $1.66 per share next week, reflecting a significant 31.4% year-over-year decline. Revenues are projected at $5.79 billion, down 27.7% compared to the same quarter last year.
As we mentioned previously, we have not yet set a clear limit for 3M and continue to monitor its chart closely. The current structure suggests that the alternative scenario, where wave 1 is positioned higher, appears increasingly likely. However, a significant surge beyond this point does not seem probable at this time.
We’re keeping a close watch to determine where this wave 1 establishes its top before making any further moves. Patience remains key as we refine our conclusions on NYSE:MMM ’s next steps.

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.
MMM 3M Company Options Ahead of EarningsIf you haven`t bought the dip on MMM:
Now analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of MMM 3M Company prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 135usd strike price Calls with
an expiration date of 2025-1-17,
for a premium of approximately $8.05.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.

hunger a lot!
The stock market is always hungry and if you
find the right system every week you
will have an opportunity
to buy or sell depending on

Because it follows these 3 steps:
#1-The price is above the 50-day moving average
#2-The price is above the 200 Day Moving Average
#3-The price has gapped up in an uptrend
That huge gap you are seeing on the screen
is a good sign of support
for the price of this stock.
