(Updated on Apr 19, 2024)

MRO Signals & Forecast

A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Friday, April 05, 2024, and so far it has fallen -7.38%. 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). Some positive signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Marathon Oil stock holds a sell signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the stock giving a positive forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately $28.32. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $27.27. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal. 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.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Marathon Oil stock

Marathon Oil finds support from accumulated volume at $27.10 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

Our recommended stop-loss: $26.07 (-5.22%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 10 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (MRO) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 22nd

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 22nd we expect Marathon Oil Corporation to open at $27.57, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $26.88 and $28.12, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.618 (+/-2.25%) up or down from last closing price. If Marathon Oil Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.49% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $27.68 (0.65%) than the support at $27.10 (1.45%), 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 Marathon Oil Corporation stock A Buy?

Several of the signals/indicators are negative, and we believe that this will affect on the development for the next days and maybe possible weeks. However, over time, we think that today's level holds a possible buying opportunity and that the price will be higher during or at the end of this 3-month period.
