(Updated on Jul 03, 2024)
The National Oilwell Varco Inc stock price gained 0.244% on the last trading day (Wednesday, 3rd Jul 2024), rising from $18.48 to $18.53. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.44% from a day low at $18.44 to a day high of $18.71. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 2.07% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -2 million shares and in total, 1 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $24.99 million. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.
The stock lies the upper part of a wide and falling 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 $18.93 will firstly indicate a slower falling rate, but may be the first sign of a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -7.74% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $15.47 and $17.47 at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.
