The stock lies in the upper part of a wide and strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break-up at the top trend line at $71.85 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising.Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 20.92% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $72.58 and $86.88 at the end of this 3-month period.

A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Friday, May 27, 2022, and so far it has fallen -1.76%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely. Some positive signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Occidental Petroleum Corporation stock holds a sell signal from the short-term moving average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the stock giving a positive forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the short-term moving average at approximately $69.78. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $62.74. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal.

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $58.13 and $57.50.There is natural risk involved when a stock is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the stock then may fall to the next support level. In this case, Occidental Petroleum Corporation finds support just below today's level at $58.13. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $57.50 and $55.38.

This stock has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the stock moved $2.26 between high and low, or 3.29%. For the last week, the stock has had a daily average volatility of 4.12%.

Several of the signals/indicators are negative, and we believe that this will affect on the development for the next days and maybe possible weeks. However, over time, we think that today's level holds a possible buying opportunity and that the price will be higher during or at the end of this 3-month period.
