Occidental Petroleum Stock To Test Resistance

 | May 11, 2022 06:59AM ET

When we look at the Occidental Petroleum Corporation (NYSE:OXY) chart, we can see after a steady climb from the $60 range to the high of $65, a strong negative reaction during yesterday’s session caused a retraction from the highs to the $57 range where it found support. It was last found trading at the $59.42 range close to the $57 support level, having the closest resistance level at $61.

Occidental Petroleum had scheduled a quarterly earnings announcement yesterday. Both EPS and Revenue exceeded expectations, beating the Q1 estimates. Today we can expect a move close to the $61 range, possibly moving above the closest temporary overhead resistance.

If however, it doesn’t manage to hold on to the current level then a move towards and below the $57 level can be expected.
