Caterpillar stock price is trading around $203 after testing a key trend line support for the fourth time. Since September price is making higher highs and higher lows but with deep pull backs towards the $187-$194.
Blue line- support trend line- potential neckline
There are increased chances that CAT stock price is in the process of forming the right hand shoulder of the pattern. Even if there is no head and shoulders pattern in play, the blue trend line is a key support that has been tested several times over the last few months and price did not break below it. As long as this is the case, bulls have hopes for a move higher. The head and shoulders pattern is canceled if price breaks above the Head high at $230.
