Potential Downside in Halliburton
Oil-field servicer Halliburton has been dropping since late January, and now the bears could be looking for another move lower.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the tight consolidation pattern since energy stocks rallied on April 3. (Following the unexpected OPEC+ production cuts.) HAL was unable to get above $34.80 while attempting to make higher lows. The result was a triangle that resolved to the downside.
Second, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) is nearing a potential “death cross” under the 200-day SMA. (Marked in red and green.)
Third, prices stalled around 43 in June and January. That resistance level could now be viewed as a double top.
Finally, the lower study features our 2 MA Ratio custom script. It flipped negative yesterday as the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) slid below the 21-day EMA, a potential sign of the short-term trend turning bearish.
