Seadrill Stock Forecast

Hold candidate since Jul 29, 2026

The Seadrill Ltd. stock price gained 0.80% on the last trading day (Wednesday, 29th Jul 2026), rising from $41.01 to $41.34. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 6.51% from a day low at $40.49 to a day high of $43.13. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -3.55% loss for the last 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -11 thousand shares and in total, 767 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $31.71 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 in the middle of a very wide and falling trend in the short term and further fall within the trend is signaled. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -20.26% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $26.44 and $36.29 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.

SDRL Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, and so far it has risen 9.66%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The stock should be watched closely. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Seadrill Ltd. stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $43.51 and $41.36. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Seadrill Ltd. stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $39.04 and $38.85. 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, Seadrill Ltd. finds support just below today's level at $39.04. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $38.85 and $38.54.

This stock has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the stock moved $2.64 between high and low, or 6.51%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 4.03%.

Our recommended stop-loss: $39.44 (-4.61%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 24 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (SDRL) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 30th

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 30th we expect Seadrill Ltd. to open at $41.65, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $40.50 and $42.18, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.68 (+/-4.15%) up or down from last closing price. If Seadrill Ltd. takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.15% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $42.39 (2.54%) than the support at $39.04 (5.56%), 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.
