The Canadian Natural Resources stock price gained 2.72% on the last trading day (Tuesday, 2nd Jun 2026), rising from $45.96 to $47.21. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.99% from a day low at $45.93 to a day high of $47.31. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -3.55% for this period.

The stock is moving within a wide and horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Canadian Natural Resources stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $41.95 and $49.14 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and stocks seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stocks turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.
