Chevron Stock Forecast

Chevron stock upgraded from Buy Candidate to Strong Buy Candidate after Thursday trading session.
(Updated on Apr 25, 2024)

CVX Signals & Forecast

The Chevron stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $161.08 and $157.72. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, and so far it has risen 5.76%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Chevron stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $152.16 and $148.88. There is a 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, Chevron finds support just below today's level at $152.16. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $148.88 and $148.33.

In general the stock tends to have very controlled movements and with good liquidity the risk is considered very low in this stock. During the last day, the stock moved $2.93 between high and low, or 1.80%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.80%.

Since the Chevron has been rising for 7 days in a row, the risk over the next couple of days has increased. We don't expect a major reaction as the stock is in very good shape technically, and therefore hold a positive evaluation despite the very short term risk.

Our recommended stop-loss: $158.20 (-4.28%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 7 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (CVX) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 26th

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 26th we expect Chevron Corporation to open at $164.52, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $162.65 and $167.91, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$2.63 (+/-1.59%) up or down from last closing price. If Chevron Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.18% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

With no resistance above and support from accumulated volume @ $152.16, some $13.12 (7.94%) from the current price of $165.28, our system finds the risk reward attractive.

Is Chevron Corporation stock A Buy?

Chevron holds several positive signals and has broken the weak rising trend up. As the stock is also in great technical shape we, therefore, consider it to be a good choice at these current levels and we are expecting further gains during the next 3 months. We have upgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Buy to a Strong Buy candidate.

Current score: 5.569 Strong Buy Candidate Upgraded
