Red day on Wednesday for Marathon Oil Corp
(Updated on Apr 24, 2024)
The Marathon Oil Corp stock price fell by -0.661% on the last day (Wednesday, 24th Apr 2024) from £635.80 to £631.60. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.55% from a day low at £630.80 to a day high of £640.60. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -3.57% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day by 2 million shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 6 million shares were bought and sold for approximately £3.59 billion.
The stock lies in the lower part of a wide and strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at £626.33 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 11.72% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between £699.75 and £776.74 at the end of this 3-month period.

MRO.L Signals & Forecast
There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The Marathon Oil Corp stock holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the stock giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at £642.06. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at £629.54. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, April 03, 2024, and so far it has fallen -6.79%. 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.
