Sector leadership reinforced as new seismic campaign drives strategic expansion

SLB launched a new phase of its ocean bottom node multi-client seismic acquisition campaign in the Gulf of America, named Engagement 9, in partnership with TGS. This initiative will cover 161 outer blocks and further strengthens SLB's position in energy technology and exploration. The continued collaboration with Baker Hughes is also highlighted by robust year-to-date sector performance.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that SLB’s rally appears technically strong but faces mounting risks. He remains wary as oscillators approach overbought territory and sees the news flow as supportive but not transformative. The persistent bullish sentiment could quickly reverse if $46.91 support fails. Kharitonov highlights that mixed indicator signals may unsettle momentum traders. "Caution is warranted now, as overbought readings and cluster risks could fuel a rapid reversal toward lower averages if downside triggers emerge."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, believes SLB’s bullish structure remains intact on strong fundamentals and robust momentum. He emphasizes the strategic importance of the new multi-client seismic campaign in partnership with TGS, which reinforces sector leadership. Current price action suggests further growth is likely, with sector tailwinds and expanding technology adoption supporting the upside. "I see multiple opportunities ahead — a confident breakout above $52 could attract more buyers and unlock new highs this week."

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, sees SLB at a key technical inflection. The divergence between oscillators and persistent bullish momentum could trigger tactical volatility near resistance. He suggests that a breakout above $52 offers short-term upside, while a failure to hold momentum may favor a contrarian pullback play. "Traders should watch for a break of $52 for continuation, but a reversal below $46.91 could set up a tactical short entry as sentiment shifts."

Upside persistence challenged as oscillator divergence and volatility increase

Momentum for SLB remains robust, supported by strong daily MACD readings and elevated ADX values. The RSI at 64.25 and CCI at 76.58 both indicate ongoing upward momentum but are nearing overbought territory. Meanwhile, the Stoch RSI points to oversold conditions, introducing a divergence across oscillator signals. BBP suggests overbought conditions, with buyers predominating intraday, while a moderate gap up at the open and trading near session highs reflect the persistent bullish tone. Current volatility is moderate to elevated, with a bias toward further upside, though mixed oscillator readings suggest caution.

Last time, analysts noted that Schlumberger NV (SLB) was trading in a strong uptrend, with the price positioned above all key moving averages and momentum indicators such as the MACD, ADX, and RSI confirming sustained bullish sentiment despite some overbought readings. Resistance is identified near $52 as persistent intraday volatility and indicator divergence suggest the potential for short-term fluctuations, but the overall momentum remains positive.
