Shares of IBM Corp., a giant in the development and sale of hardware software, are trading in a corrective trend at 198.00.

On the daily chart, the price is within the global ascending corridor with dynamic boundaries of 210.00–180.00, forming another wave of growth.

On the four-hour chart, after the breakout of the previous local high of 196.00, there are practically no obstacles to further movement, which is confirmed by the ongoing development of the Flag trend continuation pattern with the implementation level of 208.00.

Technical indicators hold a buy signal: fast EMAs on the Alligator indicator move away from the signal line, expanding the range of fluctuations, and the AO histogram forms corrective bars above the transition level.
