Occidental Petroleum Corporation Stock Forecast

Red day on Thursday for Occidental Petroleum Corporation stock after losing 0.0794%
(Updated on Apr 25, 2024)

OPC.DE Signals & Forecast

There are mixed signals in the stock today. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Friday, April 12, 2024, and so far it has fallen -4.62%. 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). Occidental Petroleum Corporation gained volume on the last day, but on falling prices. In technical terms, this is called divergence and may be an early warning. In some cases, increasing volume on falling prices may be considered positive, but that is mainly in typical "sell-offs". The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued. The Occidental Petroleum Corporation 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 62.71€ and 60.50€. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Occidental Petroleum Corporation stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at 55.75€ and 54.00€. 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, Occidental Petroleum Corporation finds support just below today's level at 55.75€. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at 54.00€ and 53.75€.

This stock is usually traded at a good volume, and with minor daily changes, the risk is considered to be low. During the last day, the stock moved 0.370€ (0.592%) between high and low. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.24%.

Our recommended stop-loss: 60.36€ (-4.04%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 9 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (OPC.DE) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 26th

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 26th we expect Occidental Petroleum Corporation to open at 62.78€, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between 61.87€ and 63.93€, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-1.03€ (+/-1.64%) up or down from last closing price. If Occidental Petroleum Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.27% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at 63.18€ (0.45%) than the support at 55.75€ (11.37%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.

Is Occidental Petroleum Corporation stock A Buy?

Several short-term signals, along with a general good trend, are positive and we conclude that the current level may hold a buying opportunity as there is a fair chance for Occidental Petroleum Corporation stock to perform well in the short-term.
