Caterpillar (CAT) -1.45% closed at $71.30 on Friday for a gain of 9.1% so far this quarter, still down 22.1% year-to-date and 38.8% below its all-time high of $116.45 set on Feb. 23, 2012. The stock has been under a “death cross” since Oct. 28, 2014 when the 50-day simple moving average fell below its 200-day simple moving average indicating that additional share price weakness lies ahead. The stock closed at $101.16 that day.

The stock set its 52-week low of $62.99 on Sept. 28 and the 9.1% rally since then raises the earnings bar when the company reports quarterly results before the opening bell on Oct. 22. Keep in mind that this company  has business exposure in China.
