IBM (IBM) Offering Possible 46.2% Return Over the Next 31 Calendar Days

IBM's most recent trend suggests a bearish bias. One trading opportunity on IBM is a Bear Call Spread using a strike $157.50 short call and a strike $162.50 long call offers a potential 46.2% return on risk over the next 31 calendar days. Maximum profit would be generated if the Bear Call Spread were to expire worthless, which would occur if the stock were below $157.50 by expiration. The full premium credit of $1.58 would be kept by the premium seller. The risk of $3.42 would be incurred if the stock rose above the $162.50 long call strike price.

The 5-day moving average is moving down which suggests that the short-term momentum for IBM is bearish and the probability of a decline in share price is higher if the stock starts trending.

The 20-day moving average is moving down which suggests that the medium-term momentum for IBM is bearish.

The RSI indicator is at 38.37 level which suggests that the stock is neither overbought nor oversold at this time.

The yen was creeping higher in the currency markets, meanwhile amid speculation the Bank of Japan may do little more than tinker with its stimulus programme and that the Federal Reserve was likely to stay guarded about its rate hike plans.
