Highlights

SLB trades at $49.07, well above its MA-20 ($44.98), MA-50 ($40.45), and MA-200 ($36.11), confirming a bullish trend across all timeframes.
Momentum remains strong with bullish MACD, ADX, and Awesome Oscillator readings, but RSI at 81.55 and Stochastic RSI at 100 signal overbought conditions and short-term pullback risk.
For the next five sessions, SLB is expected to range between $48.50 and $51.10, with a bullish breakout above $51.10 or a deeper retracement if falling below $48.50.

Overbought signals intensify as bullish momentum faces pullback risk

SLB currently trades above all key moving averages, with the nearest dynamic support at the Ichimoku Kijun ($44.58) and resistance near the MA-50 and round number at $50. Momentum indicators such as MACD and ADX maintain an upside bias, while oscillators including RSI (81.55), CCI, and Stochastic RSI (100) highlight overbought conditions. Bull/Bear Power confirms strong buyer dominance, and the Awesome Oscillator supports positive momentum. However, with prices near today's low and within a moderate intraday range, there are early signs of selling pressure and rising divergence, raising the risk of a short-term pullback despite persistent bullish strength.

Probability of short-term gains rises amid volatility band narrowing

Over the next five trading days, we expect SLB to fluctuate between $48.50 and $51.10, a volatility band relative to current levels. With “Buy” signals shown by weekly RSI, ADX, MACD, and MA-50, the probability of near-term gains exceeds 80%. Sideways consolidation near current levels is the baseline scenario; a break above $51.10 could trigger additional upside, while a reversal below $48.50 would expose the stock to deeper retracement toward dynamic supports.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees SLB maintaining a strong technical structure above its key moving averages. The analyst points out persistent bullish indicators but notes clear overbought signals and early warnings of a potential short-term pullback. Kharitonov remains cautious near current levels, as divergences and selling pressure start to surface. "With momentum stretched and SLB trading near resistance, I advise restraint — wait for a confirmed breakout above $51.10 or deeper retracement before taking action."

Last time, analysts noted that Schlumberger NV was trading with strong bullish momentum above key moving averages, supported by positive earnings growth and a dividend increase, while momentum indicators such as MACD and ADX continued to issue robust buy signals. However, with oscillators including RSI and Stochastic RSI signaling overbought conditions, analysts cautioned that the near-term outlook favored further upside within a defined range, but with elevated risk of consolidation or a short-term pullback if profit-taking accelerates.
